Juliaca is a bustling and vibrant city set high in the Peruvian Andes, known for its rich historical heritage and folkloric traditions. Located in the Puno Region of Southern Peru, Juliaca offers an authentic Peruvian experience as it is less frequented by tourists than many other Peruvian cities. It boasts an energetic market culture and is famous for its lively Carnaval de Juliaca, a festival imbued with traditional music, dance, and colorful costumes. Noteworthy landmarks include the spectacular Santa Catalina church, while nearby natural attractions like Lake Titicaca and the amazing Uros Floating Islands present breathtaking vistas and unique cultural experiences. Whether indulging in the local cuisine, exploring the dynamic street markets, or soaking up the rich historical ambiance, Juliaca provides a compelling slice of Peruvian life.

Juliaca

I solo travelled to Juliaca to get to Lake Titikaka. Not too sure about safety as I already had a driver arranged. But there were definitely many taxi drivers advertising their rides to Puno. I think it's best to just ask your airbnb host to organize transport for you, just in case.
