Located 22 kilometres north-east of Ayacucho, on the road to Quinua, the Wari ruins cover some 16 square kilometres in an isolated, elevated location in the middle of the biggest cactus forest I’ve ever seen.

The Wari were an ancient civilisation who flourished between 600 AD and 1100 AD, long before the Incas arrived. Their empire extended north beyond Chiclayo and south as far as Lake Titicaca (that’s the majority of the length of the entire country), with its capital on the pampa above Ayacucho. Once home to some 50,000 people, there is now possibly the same number of cactus plants in their place.

A fantastic place if you love cacti, nature, ruins, and isolation :-)

Top Ayacucho Region Hotel Reviews

Casa Andina Standard Ayacucho

10/10 Excellent

"El personal en especial la buena atención y servicio de Diana y Thalia"

Hotel Sumaq Plaza

8/10 Good

"Great location, close to the central Square and very helpful Staff. A big comfortable room with a very comfortable bed. Being winter I found the room a bit cold for my liking ( but not just this hotel - everywhere in Peru I have stayed) and having an adjoins restaurant meant the hotel at times was a little noisy. But would certainly stay again! "
