Juliaca Map / Location

Located just northwest of Lake Titicaca. Juliaca is the capital of the San Roman province of Peru and sits at 12,825 feet above sea level. Because it sits on the windy Calloa Plateau, it shares the nickname "The Windy City" with Chicago, but is also known as "Sock City" and "Knitting City" for its clothing industry. Near the city rests the pre-Inca burial site of Sillustani where various nobles were buried.
