11:00 | Piura (Piura region), Apr. 15.
The beaches of Mancora and Cabo Blanco are Piura region's most visited tourist attractions by domestic and foreign visitors during
Holy Week.
Other places preferred by tourists are the beaches of Punta Veleros, Las Pocitas, El Amor, Vichayito, and Los Organos.
All these attractions have received the Safe Travels stamp, which puts safe tourism in a special category in Piura, which in turn guarantees good and high-quality services for tourists.
Other important destinations during this long break are Catacaos and Ayabaca, which stand out for their religious celebrations during Holy Week. Visitors explore the Temple of San Juan Bautista de Catacaos and the Temple of Señor Cautivo de Ayabaca.
Another attraction that draws a large number of visitors is the Aypate Archaeological Complex, of Inca origin.
Piura authorities estimate that more than 20,000 tourists will arrive during Holy Week, the highest peak after the lockdown derived from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Piura is one of the regions with the best climate in the country and its destinations stand out for their great potential and excellent gastronomy, which were almost at a standstill after the 2017 Coastal El Niño Phenomenon and due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, growth and tourism's recovery in Piura can be seen with great optimism this year.
