Discover the history of Peru in one day on this trip to the Wari Archaeological Complex, the town of Quinua and the Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary.

Peruvian History Tour

At 9:30 am, we will meet in the Plaza Mayor square and embark on a 1.5-hour journey to the Wari Archaeological Complex. There, we will explore the remains of the first Andean civilization from the 7th to 13th centuries, including the Site Museum with its archaeological pieces, the Templo Mayor, and the underground tunnels used as tombs.

Afterward, we will travel to Quinua, known for its crafts and pottery. The area's art reflects the ancient Wari culture through figures like musicians, llamas, and roosters.

Close to Quinua is the Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary, site of the Battle of Ayacucho, which ended Spanish rule in Latin America. An optional horse ride is available for those seeking an enhanced experience.

We will return to Ayacucho by 2:30 pm.
