PROINVERSIÓN WILL LEAD THE PROCESS TO MAKE THE HUASCARÁN CABLE CAR A REALITY IN ÁNCASH
Lima, February 22, 2025.- The Private Investment Promotion Agency - PROINVERSIÓN signed a tripartite agreement with the Regional Government of Áncash and the Provincial Municipality of Yungay to develop the studies from formulation to the awarding of the Huascarán Cable Car through the Huascarán Cable Car Public-Private Partnership (PPP).
The executive director of PROINVERSIÓN, Luis Del Carpio, said that this project will strengthen the tourist infrastructure since it will be added to works such as the Kuelap Cable Car or the Choquequirao Cable Car project. “We are going to work hard to make this project a reality soon,” he stressed.
The agreement was signed by the regional governor of Áncash, Koki Noriega; the mayor of Yungay, José Romero Jara and the director of the Special Projects Division of PROINVERSIÓN, Mario Hernández Rubiños.
Governor Noriega said that this agreement allows the launch of a "historic megaproject for Áncash", as it will have not only a regional but also a national impact, by adding value to the tourist circuit that includes the Llanganuco lagoon and the Huandoy and Huascarán snow-capped mountains located in Yungay. “I invite private investors to put their focus here because they will have all the support,” he added.
Along the same lines, the mayor of Yungay, José Romero, said that the agreement with PROINVERSIÓN marks a milestone in the history of the Áncash region and Peru's tourism development. The objective of the Huascarán Cable Car is to improve tourist access from the Llanganuco Lagoon, located at 3850 meters above sea level, to the Huascarán snow-capped mountain within the Huascarán National Park, recognized as a World Natural Heritage Site.
The proximity of the lagoon, only 25 kilometers from the Yungay highway, facilitates access and reinforces the area's tourism potential, as the cable car will make it possible to see the Huascarán, Huandoy, Pisco, Yanapaccha and Chopicalqui snow-capped mountains.
It is a comprehensive work that will benefit the inclusion of the communities, producers and companies of Callejón de Huaylas and the Áncash region.
The Huascarán Cable Car is part of the package of five cable cars that PROINVERSIÓN has in its plans to promote and that would directly impact about 2.5 million tourists and boost the economy and trade in Cusco, Apurímac, Puno, Moquegua and Áncash.
