Peruvian History Tour

At 9:30 am, we'll meet in the Plaza Mayor square and set off on an hour and a half journey north to the Wari Archaeological Complex, which features remains from the first Andean civilization from the 7th to the 13th centuries. Participants will explore the Site Museum and view notable archaeological pieces, the Templo Mayor, and the underground tunnels that were used as tombs.

Next, we will travel to Quinua, a town in Ayacucho known for its craft and pottery tradition, showcasing the ancient Wari culture through figures of musicians, llamas, and roosters.

Close to Quinua is the Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary, site of the Battle of Ayacucho, which marked the end of Spanish rule in Latin America. Participants can opt for a horse ride around the area.

We will return to Ayacucho by 2:30 pm.
