K-nalla Says: El Obelisco y la Pampa de Quinua. Deben ser visitados, mas q nada por la significancia historica de este lugar para la independencia no solo peruana pero sudamericana de Espana. Desde el Obelisco, creado para recordar a los caidos en la batalla de Ayacucho, se puede admirar...
adelinemmc Says: You'll need to book a day trip with an agency We used Warpa Picchu Eco-Aventura (Portal Independencia 66). The tour was good but the guide Pierre from Belgium was a bit tiring after a while.The visit to the ruins is usually combined with a look at the Quinua flat where a...

Hotel san Francisco: Decent modern hotel
adelinemmc Says: The room were adequate if a bit small. Bathrooms were fine with water that was hot most of the day.Very good location, 2 blocks from teh Plaza de Armas but noicy street corner and even if your room is at the back, poor insulation means lots of noise from the corridors.The...
adelinemmc Says: Arranged around a courtyard, this restaurant is quite popular with the few tourists who made it to Ayacucho.It serves typical local food as well as more sedate western options. The asparagus soup was made with powder, not surprising.I decided to try an extreme local dish:...
Local traditional bread hot out of the oven!
juanchucha Says: The traditional ayacuchano bread is called the "chapla", and is akin to a puff-bread and looks like an inflated pita, but is far tastier. They come in two sizes and styles: a small, rougly fist -sized one and a larger variety very lightly flavored with anise seeds.On Jiron 9...

To/From Ayacucho: take the bus
adelinemmc Says: Ayacucho to/from Andahuaylas = 10 hours and 25 soles no paved roads at all. Bus company is Los Chankas. Take warm clothes and a good book (and your camera at the ready because the scenery is very beautiful)Ayacucho to/from Lima = in 2005 you could do most of the distance on...
juanchucha Says: Ayacucho used to be somewhat off-the-beaten-path due to the poor road conditions and long travel time. However, via the fully-paved "Via Libertadores" the trip now can be done in about 8 hours by car & a bit more by bus.By bus, there are numerous lines covering the route...

Helpfulness
La artesania en Ayacucho es increible, y solo es mejorada por sus excelentes precios. Las catedrales son para la suerte, al igual q lo hacen en Arequipa con los kenkos o en Puno con los Toritos de Pucara. Esta version Ayacuchana despliega su influencia española, el cura siempre es español y los feligreses indios, q se mezcla con temas indios, la iglesia es colorida con colores de la zona. El acabado es hermoso, y vale la pena ir por callejuelas y simplemente observar los techos y quedarse mirando las catedrales q alli llevan (a mas grande la catedral, la mas suerte q se pide, y la mas altura social de la familia q ahi vive)

Helpfulness
While leaving the a bull fight in Ayacucho, I was pick pocketed. The third time in four weeks that I was robbed in Peru; I was mugged in Lima, my Visa card was stolen in Ica and I was pickpocketed in Ayocucho.
The Peruvians are very warm and nice people. However, they think all gringos are rich and stupid; And fair game.
But I am neither as rich as they think nor as stupid. I caught them red handed.
Even though I had caught them, I immediately wrote the wallet off. But I got it back. Then I wrote the $$$ off. But I got that back too. Who have thunk it.
The police dragged two older men away with me following along saying "Esta Bueno Esta Bueno Let them go, let them go" because you have to be a good sport about it.

adelinemmc Says: Try this local Ayacucho dish. It is mostly served on Sundays but you may find it another day. It's a hearty soup of white corn and pork meat. It looks gross with bits of fat and skin still with some hairs on but it tastes great! Just push the yucky bits on one side and enjoy...
crummey Says: Ayacucho is great. A little bit off of the tourist route, the people are genuine and sincere.There are parades almost every day.There are bull fights on sunday. Nice people.
