While all roads may not lead to Juilaca, the Peruvian city provides connections to a number of top attractions for Peru tours. Encompassing many lovely destinations itself, the city provides more than enough reasons to linger between bus, train, plane or car transfers.
Peru is known for its alpacas, and Juilaca is one of the finest spots in the country to acquire many of the species' fine goods. At the markets found due west of the Plaza Melgar, haggling is encouraged, which can provide visitors with very reasonable prices on some of the warmest sweaters and blankets in the world.
Juilaca is also host to both a raw materials market held every Monday and the daily Galeria de las Calceteras, a handicraft market that is located in the historic Plaza Bolognesi.
Also within the Plaza is the Iglesia la Merced, a beautiful colonial-style church whose central tower remains as pristine as the day it was built. The Iglesia Santa Catalina, also from the colonial era, further enriches the city's architectural nodes and should not be missed.
