Ayacucho, Perú
A Little Bit of History
Ayachuco was initially called Huamanga, or in Quechua Wamanga, until Simón Bolivar declared that the name be changed to commemorate the Battle of Ayacucho, which was the end of Spanish Colonization in South America. The name originates from two Quechua words, aya meaning "death" or "soul" and k'uchu meaning "corner".
Ayacucho is at 9,081' (2761m) and is known one of the most traditionally Catholic cities in Perú. In fact, there are 33 Catholic churches, one for each year of Jesus's life. Holy Week and Christmas time are supposed to be spectacular. In addition, many of the folks we talked to claimed that it is the origin of many Peruvian and Andean arts, foods, textiles, etc.

The folks at Mamachina are AMAZING. Super friendly, very welcoming, and full of tips. If you visit Pampa de Quinua, this would be a great place to stop for a bite to eat, a drink, or stay the night.
