Juliaca District

Juliaca District is an administrative area in San Román Province, spanning across high Andean terrain in southern Peru at elevation above 3,800 meters. It functions as a key commercial hub for the surrounding region and its communities.

The area grew from a small settlement into a central trading point and is now one of the four main districts in San Román Province. This growth made it an important hub for regional commerce and connections.

Local artisans keep traditional crafts alive through regular markets where visitors can see handmade textiles and ceramics being sold. These products reflect the skills and ways of life that communities have maintained for generations.

The area is connected to neighboring regions through an extensive road network and has an international airport. Visitors should prepare for the high altitude and bring warm clothes for the cool conditions at this elevation.

The district underwent a major urban redesign through legislation that introduced new planning standards. This legal framework aimed to balance traditional commercial practices with updated urban requirements.
