Julcán is a city in the Junín Region of Peru. It serves as the district seat of Julcán District in Jauja Province, located in the central highlands of the country.
The city sits at a high elevation in the Andean sierra, a setting typical of the region's Andean settlements. Like much of the surrounding Junín highlands, the area is characterized by a cool, high-altitude climate and a landscape of mountain terrain.
Julcán is one of several places in Peru bearing this name, and it should not be confused with the mountain of the same name in the Lima Region, which lies in the Huayhuash range. The Junín city is a distinct settlement in a different part of the country.
