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 :-) ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6353425/cd6bee8f-934b-4289-bbc0-2e31f94548b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Quinua ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Ayacucho worth visiting? ### How do I spend a day in Ayacucho? ### What is the top tourist attraction in Ayacucho? ### Is three days enough to stay in Ayacucho? ### What are some activities to do in Ayacucho with kids? ### What to do in Ayacucho for adults? ### Are there free things to do in Ayacucho? ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - Accommodation - Flights - Packages - Cars - [Alcamenca Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alcamenca-Hotels.d553248635973465550.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Andrés Avelino Cáceres Dorregaray Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Andres-Avelino-Caceres-Dorregaray-Hotels.d553248635973465526.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Apongo Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Apongo-Hotels.d6352428.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Chilcas Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chilcas-Hotels.d553248635973462628.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Concepción Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Concepcion-Hotels.d553248635973462817.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Ayacucho Region Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Ayacucho-Region.d6235222.Hotel-Destinations) - [Cangallo Province Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Cangallo-Province.d553248635975751173.Hotel-Destinations) - [Huamanga Province Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Huamanga-Province.d553248635975751053.Hotel-Destinations) - [Huambalpa Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huambalpa-Hotels.d553248635973462742.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Huanta Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Huanta-Hotels.d553248635973463361.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Quinua Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quinua-Hotels.d6353425.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Samugari Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Samugari-Hotels.d553248635973464918.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [San Juan Bautista Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Juan-Bautista-Hotels.d553248635973462614.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Saurama Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Saurama-Hotels.d553248635973463767.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Totos Hotels ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Totos-Hotels.d553248635973463315.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Flights to Ayacucho Region ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Ayacucho-Region.d6235222.Flight-Destinations) - [Flights from Coronel FAP Alfredo Mendivil Duarte ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/airports/ayp/flights-from-coronel-fap-alfredo-mendivil-duarte-airport) - [Flights from London (LGW) to Ayacucho (AYP) ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ayp/london-to-ayacucho) - [Visit Quinua ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Quinua.dx6353425) - [Visit Sivia ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sivia.dx553248635973462565) - [Car hire Canaria ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Canaria.d553248635973462541.Car-Hire-Guide) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/mad-service/footer/bnaBanners/BEX_Footer.jpg) ## Go further with the Expedia app Save on select hotels when you book in the app. Our app deals help you to save on trips so you can travel more and manage it all on the go.
