Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
Junín is one of the 24 departments of Peru, located in the central highlands. The region is known for its Andean landscapes and the Mantaro Valley. Key cities served by area code 64 include:

- Concepción – a city along the Mantaro River.

Dialing Formats and Instructions
For callers within Peru, the national dialing format is 064 XXX XXXX (including the leading '0' trunk prefix). For international callers, the format is +51 64 XXX XXXX (or 011 51 64 XXX XXXX from the US/Canada). When dialing locally within the same area code, the national destination code is often omitted, and only the 6-digit subscriber number is used (e.g., XXX XXXX). However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format.
Overlays and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for Junín; area code 64 is the sole geographic code for the region. However, as demand for fixed-line numbers grows, the MTC may introduce additional codes or implement number pooling. For now, all fixed-line numbers in Junín share the same 6-digit subscriber number length, making the total national number length 9 digits (including the leading '0').
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Junín can dial the 6-digit number directly. Callers from other regions in Peru must dial 064 followed by the subscriber number. International callers should replace the trunk prefix '0' with the country code +51, resulting in +51 64 plus the subscriber number. Ensure you have the correct country code and drop the leading '0' when calling from abroad.
