The recent
visit of Princess Kako of Japan to Peru aroused enormous expectations and interest in visiting the South American country, mainly the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, on the part of Japanese nationals.
Princess Kako of Japan visited various archaeological, landscape, and religious sites in the provinces of Cusco and Urubamba, within the framework of the 150th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Peru and Japan.
During her visit, the illustrious guest was informed, by a tour guide, about historical data and the research carried out on the legacy of the Incas, which is one of the most precious treasures of Peru.
The princess also visited the Cathedral Basilica of Cusco, the ancient Inca palace of Wiracocha, and expressed interest and admiration for the works of religious art and colonial architecture.
The JICA representative stated that the report on the princess's visit to Peru was not only archaeological but also environmental in content, regarding the work carried out by the Japanese Cooperation Agency.
It was not only a task regarding tourism but also the environment, nature conservation, and sustainability, he pointed out.
It should be noted that the Pisqak'uchu Interpretation Center was inaugurated at the entrance to the Inca Trail in Ollantaytambo, in the province of Urubamba (Cusco), as part of the interest in archaeological topics shown by Princess Kako and the support of JICA Peru.
Thus, visitors will be able to learn —in an educational and friendly way, using new technologies and media, as well as graphics and visuals— about the Inca Trail that leads to the world wonder and the archaeological sites in each area.
