Quinua

Small ceramic churches on roofs and workshops among the houses: give Quinua village time of its own alongside the battlefield.

What to expect

Look up at the roofs, then at the pottery in the workshops. The small ceramic churches make Quinua distinctive. It is tempting to stop only for a purchase, but ask how a piece is made. That conversation can offer more than another souvenir stop.

How it fits into a journey

Combine Quinua with the Pampa and perhaps Wari, giving each a separate visiting slot. An overnight village stay is a choice in our five-day route, not a requirement.

Before or after Quinua: stays in Ayacucho

This map shows stays in Ayacucho only, for a night before or after visiting Quinua, or if you choose separate day trips from Ayacucho. It does not show stays in Quinua. An overnight in Quinua is another option; arrange the return for each day trip from Ayacucho.

Where is it?

Quinua and the surrounding area.

Practical answers

Is Quinua the same place as the Pampa?

No. Quinua is the village; the Pampa is the separate historic landscape outside it. Check whether an excursion actually visits both.
