An expedition sent from the Regional Directorate of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Dircetur) discovered a waterfall of 100 meters near the new Ashaninka Community Nuevo Paraíso (New Paradise) in the district of Tahuanía, in Atalaya province (Ucayali region).
The site, which has been called Hongu Falls, will be included in a new tourist circuit to be promoted in the area, according to Oscar Vasquez, regional director of Foreign Trade and Tourism.
"This fall has three steps and the spectacle is impressive. We arrived on the scene after receiving information from the people of wanting to promote their attractions," he told Andina news agency.
The expedition was organized also with the goal of identifying more places that might be attractive to tourists around Shawaya river, responding to a request from the Ashaninka community, who reportedly wants to boost nature tourism in order to impact the local economy.
