Here, the 17th century baroque church, Santiago Apostol, is worth a visit. Unlike the cathedral in Puno, here the nave and its altarpieces are worth the façade. The church houses one of the two copies of Michelangelo's Pietà on the continent. In the crypt, the walls are covered with skeletons. They are said to belong to the builders of the monument. Folklore is also very present in Lampa, the cradle of the Ayarachis of Paratia, the essential entertainers of the Altiplano festivals. The "pink city" is also known on the plateau as the "city of the 7 wonders". From Juliaca, count S/ 3 for a 45 min journey.
