A lovely town famous for its cuisine with around 35,000
inhabitants, located on the South Panamerican Highway, 830kilometers from
Lima, just beyond Nazca and shortly before Arequipa. Camana is situated
on the coast in an agricultural valley, with a river that produces the
most delicious “camarones” (shrimp) in the country ! During summer its
40 kms of beaches are host to large numbers of bathers from all around,
especially from Arequipa. Underwater and over water sports are most popular
here. Closeby you will find an Archaeological Museum and “Las Bodeguillas”,
caves which were used - it is said - to hideway treasures brought down
from Cuzco Inca Temples. |
