Complejo Arqueologico Wari

Reviewed By pancj2018 - Lima, Peru

We are retired archaeologists and we went to Ayacucho specifically to visit Wari. It did not disappoint - but it's not for everybody. The little on-site museum is downright terrible, with very few artifacts and very little contextual information on what they do have. Signage around the site is also non-existent. There is nothing to tell you what you are looking at. A guide is probably advisable for most visitors, though you really have no idea if the guide will be informed or accurate. In fairness to all, there is relatively little published information about this capital of the massive Wari Empire. Definitely worth a visit if you have any interest in Peruvian prehistory and the great cities of the world.

Obelisco de la Pampa de la Quinua

Reviewed By Calistogababe - Oaxaca, Mexico

This is a beautiful place with a great view. You can come up on horseback as they rent horses at the entrance or walk up. For me the historical importance was very moving as this is where General Sucre won the last battle against the Spanish to liberate all the Hispanic countries of the Americas.

Plaza Mayor de Ayacucho

Reviewed By Limonade17 - Nuremberg, Germany

The main square is a romantic place where people can meet. There are lots of flowers and trees. Everything is neatly ordered. It has been renovated looking forward to the celebration of the 200 years of independence of Peru from Spain. This has been reached in the famous "Battle of Ayacucho" in 1821. So the city is preparing itself for the "Bicentenario", which means, the 200 years, a d you can see it. In December, also the cathedral was illuminated in lots of colors from the place.
