Juliaca

It presents an indigenous baroque architectural style. The Jesuits began its construction in 1649, but it was not completed until 125 years later. Its bell tower was built entirely with ashlar brought from the quarries of Arequipa. It is under the command of the Franciscan congregation. In its structure, carved ashlar predominates. Its dome, its doorway and bell tower stand out. Works of art, such as canvases, are preserved inside.

This church is a beautiful work of architecture from the time of the republic. Carved in red limestone and with a structure typical of the modern era (iron frame). Like the main Church of Santa Catalina, it only has a symmetrically arranged bell tower unlike the previous one, and it also features a clock with four circular faces. It was inaugurated in 1959 and renovated in 1995, where indigenous elements were included.

It is a four-level building built, it has an essentially Romanesque style. It is built from rocks, bricks, iron and cement; roofed with stainless steel sheets. It has four levels and impressive arched windows, totaling more than a hundred finely finished and clear Greco-Roman style. It also highlights a watchtower and a flanking tower, which suggest the idea of being a medieval castle.

Colossal work embodied in reinforced concrete and fiberglass, which represents the image of the vigorous redeemer, with outstretched arms. It has good night lighting, which highlights a sacred purple and radiant heart. At the foot of the monument there is a viewpoint, from which you can contemplate the urban and non-urban area that includes the city of Juliaca. The complex was built in just two and a half weeks, and was inaugurated in 1987.

It is a three-story crafts shopping center, which sells all types of garments (socks, chullos, booties, shawls, sweaters, rugs, gloves, etc.) woven or made with native materials (llama, alpaca, vicuña). You can also see the handwork done by the artisan women with their typical clothing (called the hosiery), in different types of wool and fibers.

It is a lagoon surrounded by vast hills, such as Iquinito (which is the highest in the area). Local flora and fauna abound in this lagoon, mainly during the summer (rainy season).
