Huancayo, Peru

Displayed:   times.

Huancayo is a busy commercial center in central Peru. See the Convento Santa Rosa de Ocopa, which has one of the most complete collections of antiquities in the country. There's also a museum of natural history, Torre Torre (two enormous towers) and Capilla La Merced, a national historical monument decorated with colonial paintings. Huancayo is a nice place to buy silver, llama rugs, blankets and other handicrafts. Plan one night's stay. We enjoyed the weekly Sunday market, but the pickpockets there are very skilled and very busy.
