Gracias por visitar esta página de "The Colca Specialist". El objetivo de esta revista virtual no sólo es la de educar y compartir información sino también la de informar acerca de la problemática que viene afectando el circuito turístico del Cañón del Colca.

La provincia de Caylloma viene siendo víctima de una serie de abusos cometidos por los guías de turismo de Arequipa quienes vienen exigiendo elevadas comisiones a los empresarios locales seindo los culpables de esta penosa situación las agencias de viajes y turismo de Arequipa quienes vienen explotando a los guías de turismo asi como a los conductores de turismo quienes vienen trabajando en condiciones inaceptables. Culpables de esta situación son también los restaurantes turísticos quienes en su afán de captar clientes encarecen los servicios esto con el objetivo de poder dar comisiones más elevadas.

Culpables de esta situación son las autoridades del sector turismo de Arequipa ,AUTOCOLCA entre otros entes representativos del sector turismo,los mismos que hasta la fecha no han hecho nada concreto para poder poner fin a estas situaciones que perjudican a los pobladores de la provincia de Caylloma. Se suma a esta problemática, la incapacidad de gestión de nuestras autoridades, la corrupción existente en el sector turismo,la informalidad y la presencia de agencias y guías de turismo piratas en Arequipa,la alta evasión de impuestos en el sector turismo, la falta de capacitación,y en especial la falta de una conciencia turística en Arequipa.

Al hacer clic en esta página le decimos un rotundo NO!

-a las comisiones abusivas de los guías de turismo de Arequipa quienes ahora vienen exigiendo 10 soles por pasajero en los restaurantes turísticos.

-a las agencias de viajes y turismo de Arequipa quienes vienen explotando a los guías de turismo asi como a los conductores de sus empresas quienes vienen trabajando en condiciones inaceptables.

-a los guías de turismo declarados como "no gratos a la provincia de Caylloma" cuya deplorable conducta ha dañado considerablemente la imagen de los servicios turísticos en Arequipa. Conducta deplorable que ha dañado la imagen de los guías de turismo en general asi como de las instituciones representativas del sector turismo y sectores allegados al mismo.

-a los abusos cometidos por parte de los propietarios de restaurantes turísticos,hoteles entre otros en contra de los jóvenes cayllominos a quienes los explotan sin pagarles los salarios correspondientes, siendo culpables de esta situación el Ministerio de Trabajo, la Sunat,la Demuna entre otros entes reguladores gubernamentales.

-a los guías de turismo y propietarios de agencias de viajes y turismo denunciados por violación de turistas y acoso sexual en contra de su personal de counter entre otros.

-a la pésima atención médica del hospital de Chivay cuyo servicio deja mucho que desear.

-a las autoridades de la provincia de Caylloma que hasta la fecha no arreglan el tramo de la carretera Chivay-Cruz del Cóndor la misma que no justifica el pago de un boleto turístico de tal costo.

-a la pésima gestión del representante de turismo de AUTOCOLCA,Sr Raúl Gonzales quien hasta a la fecha ha demostrado su incapacidad de gestión para dicho cargo esto debido a que el mencionado profesor NO CONOCE LA REALIDAD DEL TURISMO EN LA PROVINCIA DE CAYLLOMA .

-a la discriminación que vienen sufriendo los guías de turismo de la provincia de Caylloma a los que se pretende impedir laborar en sus propios distritos.

-a los trabajadores del Gobierno Regional de Arequipa quienes vinculados a las asociaciones de guías de turismo de Arequipa intentan manipular a las autoridades en claro beneficio de sus asociaciones correspondientes.

-a los operadores internacionales quienes vienen operando en Perú sin pagar impuestos lo que va en prejuicio de los empresarios del sector turismo.

-a la proliferación de discotecas,huacterías y centros nocturnos en la provincia de Caylloma.

-a la pésima capacitación y enseñanza otorgados por los institutos de turismo de Arequipa quienes no son fiscalizados por ninguna organización educativa de manera efectiva perjudicando directamente y de forma contundente al desarrollo del turismo en la Región Arequipa.

-al poder judicial de la provincia de Caylloma que se ha convertido en el hazmerreir esto debido a la incapacidad de sus autoridades para resolver los crimenes y delitos perpetrados en contra de los turistas especificamente siendo el caso del accidente ocurrido en el 2006 en el que los turistas afectados hasta la fecha no han sido indeminizados por lo que provocaron dicho accidente.

Digásmole NO a todos estos abusos visitando esta página continuamente.

About the Reality Tour in Arequipa

by the Colca Specialist

Besides from the classical city and countryside tours in Arequipa which I named “C&C Tours” (Churches and convents tours),there is another option to be considered and this time I would write about The Reality tour in Arequipa.

The Reality Tour was introduced in Arequipa by Miguel Angel Fernandez Cayetano a former tour guide in Arequipa with more than 12 years of experience in this field of tourism.

With a vast knowledge about sociology and much creativity, Miguel decided to create a new option for those visitors interested in having a wider panorama of the actual political, cultural and economical situation of Peru.

Married with a dutch teacher and tour leader Saskia Teggels, the couple is involved in social work, tourism and education projects in Arequipa.
Miguel Fernandez is the manager of his own travel agency which is called A.I TRAVEL located in Arequipa in Santa Catalina Street 203.

The difference between the C&C Tours and the Reality Tour is that in the reality tour the visitor will have the opportunity of learning more about literally everything. Peru is a very interesting country with many different ethnic groups, languages, etc and the process it had to be what is right now it ´s very interesting.

The other tours are just tours out of the reality because tour guides and travel agencies have created a circuit which is really centered in historical data which would be interesting if it would be complemented with other cultural themes. Not everything is history. The quality of the information provided in the tours is really poor. Compared with the info provided by a lonely planet guidebook is really poor.

Besides, the tour vans take you to touristic places prepared for those that are interested in shopping or having fun, those tours are very touristic and not worth to be taken.
Tourists spend much time inside stores in these kind of tours. Good for shoppers only!

The Reality tour is the option for those that want to have something different not just prepared just for tourists.

The Reality Tour is offered only by A.I TRAVEL travel agency. Compared with others in the market the tour is cheap. Reality tours offered by other travel agencies are very expensive and the information provide is low quality. A tour done with somebody specialized in sociology and another done with a tour guide is totally different! Which one would you prefer?

I recommend to book for this tour directly in A.I TRAVEL through its website or directly in the travel agency.http://www.aitraveltours.com/
Intermediaries, informality and commissions are a problem in Peru so in order to avoid surprises, extra fees and others, buy it directly at the travel agency and not in the hotels.
Don´t hesitate in taking this tour that is recommended by several foreign guidebooks and enjoy the experience! Good luck my friends and enjoy Peru.
