5 days in Ayacucho, Quinua and Vilcashuamán

An outline with two nights in Ayacucho, one in Quinua and one in Vilcashuamán. Day four centres on two separate journeys.

What to expect

Arrive on day one and actually stay in Ayacucho on day two: that is the starting point. Pottery, archaeology and the Pampa follow, with Vilcashuamán as a separate finale. You need not return to the same hotel each evening, but several journeys must be arranged.

How it fits into a journey

Day 1: arrive in Ayacucho. Day 2: town and crafts. Day 3: choose Wari and time in Quinua/Pampa, sleeping in Quinua. Day 4: travel through Ayacucho to Vilcashuamán and stay. Day 5: Vilcashuamán and your arranged onward journey. Huancavelica is not included.

Practical answers

Could I stay in one hotel?

Yes, with separate day excursions from Ayacucho. That is a different itinerary: compare extra return travel with changing accommodation and arrange each excursion's return.
