The zone known as pampa húmeda, with its green meadows and good pastures, borders on it and offers formidable outings and accommodation at some of its agricultural venues. These invite visitors to spend a day in the countryside as the workers carry out their daily chores and to be entertained with homemade cooking.
Several urban circuits to discover the civic center, squares, main monuments, theaters and historical houses have been designed in the city. A tour around the various spaces related to it has been organized due to the significance of the railway in Junín.
