Lima, Sep. 30. Tourist attractions in the Northern Macro Region of Peru, mainly
those of Amazonas region, will experience a strong growth thanks to a Lima-Jaen
direct flight that LATAM airlines will operate starting today, Foreign Trade
and Tourism Minister Eduardo Ferreyros informed.
The airline
expects to fly more than 100,000 passengers a year between the two
destinations. This way the new route will diversify the tourist experience in
Peru.
“This will
also improve the Alto Utcubamba tourist circuit with a reduced travel time to
Chachapoyas —starting point to visit sites like Gocta Falls, Kuelap
Archaeological Complex, Sarcophagi of Karajia, Revash's mausoleums and
Leymebamba district,” he indicated.
The good
news adds up to the soon-to-be-opened Kuelap cable-car system in Chachapoyas.
Cable cars
will run for 4km up to the said site and take 20 minutes. The work has been
undertaken by Mincetur since 2015.
The Jaen
daily flight will be the 17th destination added by LATAM Airlines, which
celebrates its 17th anniversary of Peru service this year.
