2023 Juliaca Carnival canceled
The Juliaca Carnival is one of the most pompous parties in the Puno region. However, this year, it will not be able to develop due to the social and political situation that the country is experiencing. The presidents and delegates of the participating folklore groups made the decision.
One of the reasons for suspending the carnival was that the population of Juliaca is mourning the death of eighteen civilians and a police officer in protests earlier this month. The deaths occurred during the violent clashes between law enforcement and protesters on January 9, 2023.
