|
Juliaca, just under an hours drive from Puno, is an industrial city with very little character. The city likes to boast about its progress and prosperity, primarily due to the cement factory, but it is not much of a tourist destination.
The main reason visitors stop in Juliaca is for the airport, the bus connections, and the train station. The Juliaca airport is the closest major airport to Puno and Lake Titicaca, with service to Lima and other major destinations around Peru. The train between Cusco and Puno makes a stop in Juliaca. People sometimes get off here to catch a bus or arrange a taxi to Llachon.
There are lots of hotels and restaurants in Juliaca. This can be a good place to spend the night for travelers catching an early flight in the morning. Of interest in Juliaca is the Sunday Market and the Plaza Bolognesi, next to the train station.
