A town where little English is spoken and not that not many tourists visit. Good food. Great market. Handicrafts are produced here by individual artisans. Lots of churches. Clean streets. Ancient sites of the Wari. Good little Museum.
We have been to Ayacucho a few times for business. It is a place we like to visit. We stay in a hotel on the Plaza de Armes. It is a great area. It is safe to walk around there. There are beautiful churches all...More
