This was an excellent day-long tour of the area around Huamanga (Ayacucho)! The tour left promptly on time from the main plaza which most of us were staying near. Our tour guide Jorge was incredibly knowledgeable about the sites we were going to visit and began to give us some historical context of the city as the bus pulled out into the mountains. The Wari site (and flora) was incredible to see and without a tour guide, would be very difficult to fully appreciate as there is no signage so it's critical to go with an experienced tour guide! Afterward, we visited a newer local bee museum that offered some treats which was an unexpected but very pleasant surprise, and also offered some incredible views of the area! At this point, we headed to the pampa de Ayacucho (or Quinua as it's known) which was a short car ride away. Once again, without a knowledgeable tour guide, one could easily visit the area without fully appreciating the historical value for Peru and Latin America.
After taking a short lunch break at a local restaurant that showcased local dishes, we went to our final stop to check out a local artisan's studio and even took home a small souvenir that we made ourselves. Overall I was very impressed with the expertise of our tour guide, the comfort and timeliness of the tour and if i had more time in the city would've loved to check out some of the other tours offered by Huancaraylla Tours!

The place is very nice, but the service from the agency was very poor. The bus had a flat tire and had no spare, nor any tools. We had to wait 2.5 hours for the driver to bring another tire, at night, tired and cold. The agency took no responsibility for anything.

The activity was well organized. Both Wari and Quinua are worth visiting due to the history behind them. A good cultural experience.

I actually booked this through Alta Montanas but this tour operator did the tour. It was great, if long. They advertise 9:30-3:30 but more like 4:30 return. There are few western tourists in May in Ayacucho — undeserved! Ayacucho is wonderful! Spend your money here! So I joined a tour of entirely Peruvians in Spanish and it was wonderful. Luis spoke slowly and clearly so that I understood; he had great information and knew a lot of this important history to Peru’s independence and the Wari culture. The only disappointment was not due to the tour operator: I don’t know why but nearly all the artesan shops in Quinua were closed so we were pushed into shops of basic tourist quality and had to linger too long. Also, the lunch is not obligatory— thee is one other small restaurant you can choose if you want. But overall, great day and worth seeing the important sites and countryside.
