Huancayo
V!VA User‘s Description
Characterized by clusters of non-descript concrete buildings and streets crowded with buses, Huancayo is a visually unspectacular town. What it lacks in optical allure, however, it more than makes up for in cultural draw. Located in the heart of the Mantaro Valley, the city has garnered a reputation as the center of Andean artesanía. Although tourism to the area dwindled from late 1980 to early 1990, when the region was the stage of a bloody conflict between the Shining Path and Peruvian army, the town and its vibrant inhabitants seem to have recovered. Huancayo has re-emerged as a bustling commercial hub and cultural center that draws people from around the world for its food, crafts, dancing and music.
