Peruvian History Tour

At 9:30 am, we'll meet in the Plaza Mayor square and journey north for an hour and a half to the Wari Archaeological Complex, the site of the first Andean civilization from the 7th to 13th centuries. Here, we will explore the Site Museum and the Templo Mayor, remnants of the ancient city of Wari, as well as the underground tunnels used as tombs.

Following our visit, we will head to Quinua, known for its crafts and pottery tradition reflecting the ancient Wari culture with figures of musicians, llamas, and roosters.

Nearby is the Pampas de Ayacucho Historic Sanctuary, site of the Battle of Ayacucho, marking the end of Spanish rule in Latin America. An optional horse ride in the area is available for an enhanced experience.

We will return to Ayacucho by 2:30 pm.
