The town of La Merced is the gateway to the eastern part of Junin. If you wanted a place to buy fresh fruit then this is it – plentiful and cheap – you could buy a crate of fresh fruits for under $3.

La Merced, although poor and only been accessible for a decade or so, is still very beautiful. There is something about the climate here, the greenery and smells, that makes everything seem more pleasant.

Attached to this entry are pictures day and night. The videos below were filmed at night.
