Cusco, Apr. 19 (ANDINA). Tourists arriving at Macchu Picchu this July will be invited to visit the 16 alternative sites included in the tourist ticket of Cusco's Committee on Tourist-Cultural Integrated Services (Cosituc).
The head of
Cosituc, Orlando Olivera, said Monday that the initiative was submitted to Cusco's Regional Office for Foreign Trade and Tourism in a bid to boost tourism during the centenary celebrations of the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu.
"We are suggesting the promotion of the beautiful attractions located in Sacsayhuaman, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero and Moray," Olivera added.
"In addition to Machu Picchu, there are important Inca and pre-Inca sites in the provinces of Cusco, Urubamba and Quispicanchi," he continued.
The tourist ticket costs 130 soles (approx US$46) and includes admission to Qorikancha, Saqsayhuman, Q´engo, Puka Pukara, Tambomachay and other archaeological sites and museums.
