As explained by the manager of the Colca Autonomous Authority (Autocolca) Fredy Jimenez, the decline in the number of visitors is due to the heavy rains that hit the area earlier this year and the European crisis, however, expressed confidence that the flow of tourists will increase.
"As the high season gets closer, we will improve the tourist traffic in the Canyon area, and important dates for tourism as Independence Day and the Anniversary of Arequipa are coming soon as well," he said in his statements to Andina agency.
