A huge monument and small museum mark the site of the Battle of Ayacucho (1824) at Quinua – a small pueblo (town) famous for its unique ceramic handicrafts. Wari is 20km and Quinua 34km northeast of Ayacucho. Colectivos and combis go to Quinua (S3.50, one hour) via the ruins from Paradero Magdalena at the traffic circle at the east end of Cáceres in Ayacucho. Travel agencies in town offer Spanish-language tours (S60).
