Palcamayo
Palcamayo is a small town about 30 kilometers from Tarma, a city in Junín Region, Perú. Although it is not as big as Tarma, it is an attractive destination for tourists. There are a number of caves near to the town, and the area is designated as a National Area. The population is less than 5,350 people, as of the 2005 census.
In 2006, a construction was built for the purpose of raising trout numbers in the area's lakes. This was to attract larger numbers of tourists to the town who come to eat the trout. There is a problem in which global warming is now affecting the lakes.
