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.
