JuliacaJuliaca is a city in the Puno Region, Peru. It is the region's second-largest city and capital of the San Roman province. Juliaca is on the Altiplano, 3824 meters above sea level. It is located in the Collao Plateau and close to Lake Titicaca. Cattlebreeding creates a strong trade in leather goods and textiles, also wool trading is big in this area. Also close are the ruins of Sillustani. Lacking the glorious lake views and cultural fanfare of Puno, Juliaca has assumed the role of commercial travel conduit. more... National name:Juliaca Around JuliacaThe area around Juliaca is full of very traditional altiplano towns. This bleak, uninviting landscape has its own harsh beauty, and is worth visiting to understand the highland people. There are several interesting towns near Juliaca, which make for a nice day trip, including Azangaro, with a pretty church, and Putina, with thermal baths. 170km north-east of Juliaca, entering the jungle area of the Department of Puno, is Santa Lucia, where there is the 70m-high Hatun Phausa waterfall.

However, it is also very unattractive, and competes with Chimbote on the northern coast for the title of most unpleasant city in Peru. Most of the buildings in the city are very ugly and appear to still be under construction, and the bitter cold winds make being out at night almost unbearable. more...

European movies are also regularly screened, especially in Lima (again in the original language), but [...]
