Narrative:
There was traffic with no communication; we saw them so close. The evasive action was smooth and we continued with our approach. It is important to tell you that ATC advised us about traffic without altitude information in the area. I think that this event occurred because of the distraction of the other aircraft in the communications and in the airspace class that they were flying.
