President Garcia encourages tourists to visit Cusco and enjoy its festivals

Peru’s president Alan Garcia Thursday encouraged world tourists to visit Cusco and be part of its religious festivals, such as the Inti Raymi.

“We want to confirm Cusco's national identity and rescue its huge historic value, we also want the whole world to continue admiring Cusco,” he said.

Garcia said he was very pleased that once again Cusco authorities chose the Government Palace to launch this initiative.

“This house is honored with the presence of you all to attend the Inty Raymi, Qoyllurit’y and the Mamacha Carmen,” he stated.

During the ceremony held at the Honor Yard of the Government Palace, Garcia stressed on the need to continue promoting Cusco's religious festivals.
