Peru's Commission on the Promotion of Exports and Tourism (PromPeru) will launch in Arequipa a campaign called "Arequipa at your fingertips," which aims to  provide people a way to participate in touristic activities  for one day without spending more than 15 nuevos soles, reported today Yermeth Murguia, from the Iperu Information Office.

To publicize the campaign, IPerú has more than 23,000 brochures that are being distributed among the population. The brochures provide information on the countryside of Arequipa, a sector still unknown even for many people currently living in the city, unaware of the attractions in traditional sectors such as Quequeña, Yarabamba, Characato, Sabandía, Chiguata, Paucarpata, Sachaca, Tiabaya and Yura.

The brochure, elaborated in close coordination with local authorities, also presents information from the districts, and specifies that the charges for these tours will not  be over 15 nuevos soles.
