Improvements in the Anta-Huaraz airport

Locals and tourists will benefit with the works currently done to modernize the airport in Anta, Ancash, which will offer a comfortable and secure environment to incoming and outgoing passengers. It is expected that the number of flights connecting Anta-Huaraz with Lima and other places in Peru will increase in the near future.

Huaraz is the gateway to a wonderland of snow peaks and nature that attracts mountaineers that come from all over the world to climb the summits of the Cordillera Blanca, the highest tropical mountain range on Earth.

Another important attraction is the massive temple of Chavin de Huantar, a UNESCO World Heritage Trust Site, and its new museum, the National Museum of Chavin. Visitors to the museum can admire the archaeological objects found in the temple’s underground tunnels and galleries, including the Tello Obelisk that was taken to Lima ninety years ago and had been recently brought back. Moreover, visitors can observe other impressive carved stone monoliths. Eventually, a research and conservation center will be built near the museum.
