Located at 79 km of the south of Puno (1 hour and 20 minutes by car). This village was founded by the Dominicans in 1534, but later they were expelled by the missionary congregation of the Jesuits, which was established in Juli during the viceroyalty, where priests turned the town into a strategic center to prepare missionaries to Paraguay and Bolivia.
Known as the "Little Rome of americas" due to its temples, churches stand out in Juli such as St. John Lateran, St. Peter Martyr and Holy Cross of Jerusalem, and also the House of the Inquisition or Zavala. Inside the churches can be seen stone sculptures, wood carvings, paintings and oil paintings produced by prominent artists such as the Jesuit Bernardo Bitti.
