Peruvian History Tour

At 9:30 am, we'll meet in the Plaza Mayor square and set off on an hour and half's journey north to the Wari Archaeological Complex. There we'll find the remains of the first Andean civilization that developed between the 7th and 13th centuries. We'll walk through the Site Museum and view various archaeological pieces. Additionally, we'll visit the Templo Mayor, remnants of the ancient city of Wari, and the underground tunnels used as tombs.

Next, we'll travel to Quinua, a town in Ayacucho known for its crafts and pottery. You'll see the ancient Wari culture reflected in various figures.

Nearby is the Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary, the site of the Battle of Ayacucho, which ended Spanish rule in Latin America. Optionally, participants can enjoy a horse ride around the area for a memorable experience.

We will return to Ayacucho by 2:30 pm.
