The town of Jauja - Huancayo Tourist Attractions
The quiet old town of Jauja in the Mantaro Valley has a unique place in Peruvian history.
Its where the conquistador Pizarro established his first capital before Lima was founded.
Its still an important centre in Junin province, with colorful markets every Wednesday and Sunday.
Theres a series of carnivals and celebrations throughout the year, the biggest La Tunantada runs for a week from the 20th of January.
For the rest of the year the town shows off its colonial architecture, with many of the most prominent buildings painted sky blue.
The original church contains beautiful wooden sculptures in baroque style...
all part of the old colonial style that forms a stark contrast with the modernity of nearby Huancayo.

Huancayo Tourist Information - Junin Peru
Huancayo is the largest city in the central region of Peru.
Half a million people cram into the capital of Junin province.
It can be breathtaking for a visitor fresh from the coast, not only because the surrounding mountains.
At over 3,200 meters above sea level or 10,500 feet altitude sickness can be problem.
But theres plenty to do while you get acclimatized.
Even though Huancayo has a business-like appearance, its also called the party capital of Peru. Lessons in traditional dance,
Andean musical instruments and a bit of Spanish are easy to organize in the bustling center of town.
While the city is home to a wide range of agricultural industries, from milk factories, to trout farms, liquor distilleries to craft studios,
its most famous as the end point of one of the great train journeys of South America.
The rail line from Lima was started by an American railway engineer Henry Meiggs in the 1870s, and finished Ernest Malinowski, a Pole who said he could build a railway anywhere a llama could climb.
It passes through 69 tunnels, 59 bridges and 22 zigzags and 6 switch-backs to reach a pass at almost 4,758 meters (15,500 feet) above sea level.
Carving through rock and up steep mountainsides, the track took 28 years to build.
It started occasionally running the route again in 2002 for special occasions and festivals held throughout the year.
Outside the city a string of mountains, lakes, small towns and campsites dot the Mantaro Valley, home to the Huanca people.
Archaeological sites describe the history of the war-like Huanca who fought bitter battles with the Inca for control of the valley.
But the region is now a haven for visitors fleeing the crowded city of Lima, for a break in the mountains.

Folk festival in Jauja Love1017's photos around Huancayo, Peru (folk festivals in peru)

Entry from: Huancayo, Peru
Entry Title: Folk festival in Jauja
Entry:
Retrieving my equipment from customs took longer than I expected (it shouldn't have been a surprise as I was warned about the red tape here). So I decided to take advantage of the weekend and go to Jauja, a small town of 30,000 inhabitants some 5 hrs by bus east of Lima. Jauja is probably one of my favourite places in Peru so far, although its hard to choose because every city and area I visit seems to have a wow factor. Jauja's charm, at least for me, lies in the traditional way of life of its people, unspoiled by the hoards of tourists that frequent cities such as Cuzco and Arequipa. Its also a major folk festival center - the owner of the hostel I stayed at, a hospitable french guy called Bruno, told me that there are folk dances and celebrations year round. For those of you venturing out into this little visited town, the Manco Capac hostal comes highly recommended. It has two wonderful gardens with rain-sheltered patios, and the rooms are tastefully decorated. Bruno and his staff were very hospitable. On Sunday I walked through a maze of market streets to get to the main arena where all dances are held. This was not a tourist market - no trinklets or cheesy souvenirs. Amid the household goods and scores of shoe stores you can see food stalls with all sorts of grilled meat on offer. The grilled cuy (guinea pig, local delicacy) is engrained in my mind forever. Apparently the head is supposed to be the juiciest part. Many stalls displayed large trays of cuy, stacked one on top of another; their eye-less char-grilled faces seem to stare right at you in admonishment. The two rather long sharp front teeth make their lifeless faces look all the more threatening. Other food stalls had these large round pots constructed of brick, where coals are laid at the bottom and left to burn to ambers; then all sorts of vegetables are placed on top, but mostly corn and potatoes. The pot is filled almost to the brim, after which it is covered with layers of wood planks, blankets and nylon for a steaming effect. The plaza where dances are held is lined with food stalls as well. In the middle there is a circular arena, around which people gather to watch the folk dancers. Bruno and I managed to secure a viewing spot right at the base of the arena. Dancers from various regions come out, dressed in amazingly colourful traditional clothing, and perform their routine going round the arena once, after which they make way for the next group of dancers. I expected the dances to be lively and fast, but that was not the case. Movements are slow and deliberate; as if the point is more to show off the craftsmanship on their costumes than to display any particular dancing skills. It was hard for me to distinguish one song from the next, they all sounded like one long whailing to me... even so the whole experience was fascinating.
