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

Hotel Yañez Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The staff members were extremely personable, courteous, and attentive to my comfort. I came down with a brief illness, and the hotel keeper even escorted me to the pharmacy, as I speak poor Spanish. The breakfast of fresh eggs, bread, condiments, and tea was a good start to my days. I very much felt at home in this hotel even though I was a foreigner."
