Canta province, in Lima region, expects to welcome between 10,000 and 20,000 visitors during the long Holy Week holiday (April 2-5),
The municipal authority told Andina News Agency that Canta offers a variety of attractions for tourism.
During a regular holiday, Santa Rosa de Quives—one of Canta's main tourist draws—receives between 10,000 and 15,000 visitors, he noted.
This jurisdiction has country clubs equipped with lodging, swimming pools, and spaces for camping or family stays.
Among the places to consider for the long Holy Week holiday, the mayor recommended Obrajillo, an area known for its countryside setting. It is home to the waterfall known as "Velo de la Novia" (Bride's Veil).
The mayor highlighted Cantamarca, a site of high historical value for having been home to Canta's earliest populations.
He also noted that the San Buenaventura district is home to "Lima's Machu Picchu," a contemporary reconstruction of an Inca-style citadel that has recently drawn tourists' attention.
Additional sites
Other recommended sites include the pre-Columbian Archaeological Site of Tunshuwillca, with its structures, in Arahuay district, and the Checta Petroglyphs, located in Santa Rosa de Quives district.
Visitors can reach Lake Chunchun as well, the body of water where the Chillon River originates—also known as the "Seven Colors Lake"—as its waters at times appear in shades of blue, turquoise, and green.
Regarding connectivity, the regional authority said there is land access, although some roads have been affected by recent rains linked to El Niño.
Seras indicated that the Lima–Canta–Huayllay road is being rebuilt.
