More than 3,000 local and foreign tourists are expected to visit the National Park of Manu this year, after the reopening and rehabilitation of the road Paucartambo – Kosñipata – Manu which was blocked for more than 40 kilometers by landslides triggered by incessant rains, reported the head of this natural attraction, Vladimir Ramirez Prada.
Some 19 tourist lodges and accommodations located along the route, from the Ajanacu region or Salida del Sol in Paucartambo to the Manu, are ready to receive visitors who couldn't access the site for over a month.
“There are many admission requests and we are authorizing them; we received the visit of more than 40 tourists during the past week,” stated Ramirez.
The government in coordination with concerned entities are working to promote the arrival of tourists, especially from Europe and the United States, and in a lesser amount from Latin America.
Before the landslides in Paucartambo, the National Park of Manu used to attract tourists from different countries who arrived to enjoy the Manu river basin, considered of high tourist value.
