At the other extreme, with fewer projects, include Madre de Dios (1), Tumbes (3), Tacna (4) and Amazonas, Ayacucho, Loreto and San Martín with 5 projects each. With respect to the regions that attract the largest amounts of investment, Cajamarca (19,178 million dollars), Piura (13,442 million dollars), Lima (12,406 million dollars) and Apurímac (11,838 million dollars) stand out, which together concentrate almost half of investments. In the case of Cajamarca, 86.9% of said amount corresponds to mining investment. In Piura, 59.2% is channeled to hydrocarbons and 30.9% to mining. Lima has 64.8% of the investment directed to the transport sector; while in Apurimac, 85% belongs to mining.
