Ayacucho Guided Tour

We'll meet at 3:30 pm in the Plaza Mayor square to begin our tour of Ayacucho and learn about the city's history. This square features architecture from the city's colonial past, including the Casa de Baza y Solís and the baroque Cathedral.

As we explore its streets, we will observe colonial houses and brightly coloured buildings. Our tour continues at the Hipólito Unanue Museum, focusing on ancient Peruvian civilizations: Chimú, Moche, Wari, and Inca.

Next, we will stop at the Santa Teresa de las Carmelitas Descalzas Monastery. Ayacucho is known as "the city of churches," so see how many churches you can count during the tour.

Ayacucho is also famous for its crafts. In the Santa Ana neighbourhood, we will learn about huamanga stone carving and weaving. Our last stop will be at the Acuchimay Viewpoint to enjoy views of the city.

The tour concludes at 7 pm.
