Ayacucho tours

Day trips from Ayacucho

Torrent Duck in Huanta Ayacucho

Ayacucho is surrounded by mountains in an area between the high Andes and the rainforest. Ecologically, it’s similar to Machu Picchu, which is the other place you can see the torrent duck (above).

Tours from Ayacucho can take you up to the high altitude pampas to see Puya raimondii or to the waterfalls of Huanta. Ayacucho was the seat of the Wari civilization, so it’s a dream come true for archeologists and historians.
