Peru is a great country that offers sightseers the chance to visit various areas. On this occasion, Andina news agency suggests tourists to arrive in some destinations where community-based rural tourism can be enjoyed while in the Inca country.
As is known, Peru’s Foreign Trade and Tourism Ministry (Mincetur) —through its Community-based Rural Tourism Strategy—prepared a list of destinations to visit in one day.
Humacchuco (Ancash region)
Humacchuco is located two hours away from Huaraz within the Huascaran National Park.
Visitors will be welcomed with traditional dances before getting first-hand knowledge of agricultural activities.
Later, they will join the local community to eat a delicious Pachamanca —an Andean ritual dish that dates back to ancient times— for lunch.
If there is enough time, visitors can spend the night with locals so that they can explore one of the popular roads leading to the park.
