It was peaceful sitting in the park area enjoying the area

Ayacucho is a hidden gem that amazes you with culture and amazing food. I spent a week enjoying the surrounding tours and spending time in nature...exploring caves and waterfalls...definitely a wonderful adventure. Only one hour away from Lima by plane.

Lovely central plaza, nice shops around

Nice plaza with a lot of restaurants and cafés

Super clean, it has a great view of the mountains and an old traditional style. Just by visiting the place you can see the heart of Ayacucho.

Beautiful place, many parades and shopping

Great beautiful plaza and beautiful city, well worth a visit. Charming architecture. Nice place to enjoy.

Beautiful and interesting place, where you can find the born of the ayacucho 's retablo. It's a little museum but friendly like a place. The ticket costs 4 soles adults and 2 soles kids. I suggest to visit it

Beautiful place which tells the story of one of the first "maestro de los retablos". It takes you through his life and successes making his art and getting recognized and rewarded for his work. They also have retablos and other pieces of souvenirs / artwork from the region for sale. Relatively small (a tour takes about 30 minutes) but very colorful. Staff is very friendly and competent. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend museum if you want to know about Retablo Ayacuchano. You can buy some beautiful and inexpensive souvenirs.

Nice place to visit and learn more about the Peru culture

Great information about the humble beginnings of the art. One of the great master

Good experience ,good one

Lovely, cozy, tender.

Nice museum for a short visit. Guides are young military from peruviam armee.

An interesting museum if you are interested in military things. It costs 5 soles to enter as of June 2025. There is no tour and all written explanations are in Spanish. If you don't understand Spanish, use Google translate.

Unfortunately the building and exhibits are in dire need of conservation. There are numerous canvases from the Viceroyal period that are very nearly beyond hope of restoration.

Very nice cathedral its free

(Translated by Google) It's a very beautiful place that you shouldn't miss if you visit the city of Huamanga. You can also go up to the cathedral's viewing platform (you can buy your ticket at the entrance, on the left). (Original) Es un lugar muy bonito que no debes dejar de pasar si visitas la ciudad de Huamanga, también puedes subir al mirador de la catedral (puedes comprar tú boleto por la entrada, a la mano izquierda).

(Translated by Google) The Ayacucho Cathedral (also known as the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Mary) is the principal Baroque cathedral in the city of the same name. It is owned by the Catholic Church and was declared a National Historical and Cultural Heritage of Peru in 1972. [1] [2] Located in the Plaza de Armas, its construction began in 1632 and was completed in 1672. It is the largest cathedral in the country, as it is the main temple. The details of its construction are countless, and one particularly curious one is the presence of two small figures hidden at the top of the bell of the left tower, as if observing the city from above. Overall, the building has three naves, 18 columns supporting eight arches, 16 high vaults, 22 windows, and a beautiful triangular dome with an octagonal base. The architectural style of the façade is Seismicist Baroque. It is the only temple in the city that has three entrance doors on the front, where there are two statues representing the apostles Saint Peter and Saint Paul. (Original) La Catedral de Ayacucho (también conocida como Catedral basílica de Santa María) es la principal catedral barroca en la ciudad homónima. Está bajo propiedad de la Iglesia católica, y fue declarada como Patrimonio Histórico Cultural de la Nación del Perú en 1972.[1]​[2]​ Ubicada en la Plaza de Armas. Su construcción se inició en 1632 y concluyó en 1672. Es la más grande por ser el templo principal. Los detalles en su construcción son innumerables y uno particularmente curioso es la presencia de dos pequeños personajes ocultos en la parte superior de la campana de la torre izquierda, como si observaran la ciudad desde lo alto. En términos generales, la edificación tiene 3 naves, 18 columnas que sostienen 8 arcos, 16 bóvedas altas, 22 ventanas y una hermosa cúpula triangular de base octogonal. El estilo arquitectónico de la fachada es Barroco Seiscentista. Es el único templo en la ciudad que tiene 3 puertas de ingreso en el frontis, donde precisamente se encuentran dos estatuas que representan a los apóstoles San Pedro y San Pablo.

(Translated by Google) The imposing Cathedral of Ayacucho, also known as the Basilica Catedral de Santa María, is an outstanding example of colonial architecture and stands directly on the Plaza Mayor – a must-see for art and culture enthusiasts. It was built between 1632 and 1672 by royal decree of the Spanish King Felipe III and declared a national cultural heritage site in 1972. The facade is deliberately simple, but the interior reveals an overwhelming wealth of detail: ten retablos decorated with gold leaf, including the famous retablos of the Virgen de Socos, the Señor de Burgos, and the Niño Llorón. (Original) Die imposante Kathedrale von Ayacucho, auch bekannt als Basílica Catedral de Santa María, ist ein herausragendes Beispiel kolonialer Architektur und thront direkt an der Plaza Mayor – ein Muss für kunst‑ und kulturbegeisterte Besucher. Sie wurde zwischen 1632 und 1672 nach königlichem Dekret des spanischen Königs Felipe III erbaut und 1972 zum nationalen Kulturerbe erklärt. Die Fassade wirkt bewusst schlicht, doch im Inneren entfaltet sich ein überwältigender Reichtum an Details: zehn mit Blattgold verzierte Retablos, darunter die berühmten Retablos der Virgen de Socos, des Señor de Burgos und des Niño Llorón .

Local place to buy handmade crafts.. go after lunch time as early morning hours not all the shops are open

Ueno

Ok

(Translated by Google) Craft center next to the Maria Parado de Bellido square, you find all kinds of crafts and clothing with very beautiful hand embroidery work, the prices are the same or a little more than those at the central market of Huamanga, at the entrance there is a kiosk where they sell you ground and prepared coffee at the moment you order it (Original) Centro artesanal al lado de la plazoleta Maria Parado de Bellido, encuentras todo tipo de artesanías y ropa con trabajos de bordado a mano muy bonitos, los precios están igual o un poquito más que den el mercado central de Huamanga, en la puerta de ingreso hay un kiosko donde te venden café molido y preparado al momento que lo pides

(Original) Aquí les dejo un lugar donde pueden comprar sus recuerditos de Ayacucho, los stands tienen varias formas de pago asi que no te preocupes si no te alcanza el efectivo. 😉 Hay mucha variedad de souvenir, prendas [polos, chalinas, guantes, gorras, etc], llaveros, cuadros, carteras bordadas, artesanías.

(Translated by Google) There are different craft stores to find from souvenirs to complex handcrafted designs. There is huamanga stone, altarpiece, leather, tinwork, embroidery and much more. The prices are varied so that the visitor can choose freely. You should preferably carry cash, since there are some adult artisans who do not handle online operations.

Menu too long, food only average at best. Ambience and decor score a little more highly.

Very nice restaurant with an extensive menu of Peruvian dishes. Service on patios. Best part was the clean bano, with toilet seat and individual paper dispenser!

Decent rooms… had a room at thr back part and there was some live music event making it very loud…. But restaurant on terrace with view on Plaza de Armas is nice. Tried the Alpaca Lomo Saltado which was great!!

We visiting ViaVia based on a friend's recommendations and it did not disappoint! The food was delicious, service was wonderful and we loved the atmosphere. Our server gave great recommendations and answered all questions that we had. She knew a lot about the menu and was able to help me make modifications based on my dietary restrictions. We came for an early dinner and got a table over looking the plaza de armas. 10/10 recommend, we will be back!

I only used the restaurant, because I stay in a different hotel when I visit Ayacucho. The Menu is just great it has something for everybody, local delicacies, and a great selection of beers. My favorite is Dieta de Pollo: chunks of chicken, with broth, broccoli, and potatoes, after a whole day walking and riding vans visiting near towns, the food is just perfect to feel satisfied.

Friendly, attentive waitstaff. Large portions of food and drink. Reasonable prices (we paid around S/.30 per main dish, S/.17 per cocktail, S/.9 for a quite good glass of vino tinto). One warning - don't pay with credit card here; they charged me in my card's currency faster than I could ask to be charged in soles so as to not be scammed out of a few percentage points. That was an ethically disappointing way to end an otherwise very positive experience.

It's a nice cozy place. They serve Alpaca besides chicken, beef and duck . The taste was ok but good to the local standards. It's always best to order menu of the day where they serve 3 course meal. Good value.

I had the quinoa risotto with trout at Sukre and it was delicious! The view of the Plaza de Armas and the cathedral made the experience even better. Great spot in Ayacucho. Very friendly prices too.

I ate bfast and dinner here. They have a great 2nd floor patio that overlooks the main plaza/park in Ayacucho. Tasty food. The servers knew what was available. Bathrooms were clean. They also accept both Visa and Mastercard. I really enjoyed the hot pisco drinks!

I would never recommend this restaurant. Food arrives cold, female wait staff have really bad attitudes and are not interested in attending clients. Male wait staff aren't much more attentive but at least they don't have a bad attitude. Items on the menu don't mean they are available. Manager hangs around and does little but occupy a needed table. He has to go since he's the one that is ultimately responsible for the entire operation. I first thought that maybe they treated me poorly because I was a Gringo. But then I noticed that locals were getting up and walking out. You can't get a glass of tap´water with your meal. If you want water you have to buy it. Serving size for the daily special is ridiculously large. NO ONE every finishes this very large portion. And this is typical for ALL of the restaurants in Ayacucho. Half the food goes back to the kitchen in Ayacucho. Makes no sense whatsoever. Even if you ask for a smaller portion, they still bring you a portion that is big enough for two people. Overall, I give this place a one star rating because the food is always cold, waitresses are nasty, wait time is up to an hour for a simple order, manager is incompetent, and you will never see your waitress again after the meal is brought to the table. This place could be highly recommended because the food is fairly good. But there are other reasons to rate restaurants. View from the balcony tables is wonderful since the restaurant is on the second floor. Tables are too close to each other on the balcony. This means no private conversations and chairs touching each other. Chaos reigns at this restaurant. If I was the manager things would be very different.

The alpaca steak was fine, but the sauce provided was way too salty. My main complaint about this restaurant is that it has different floor elevations without proper warning. The men's toilet floor is three inches higher than the main floor. I hit it directly with my foot. Hurt like hell!!

Nice place but not working WiFi and non even a sentence by personell in english

Chicharrón was my favorite at this location. Fusion cuisine was creative and rich in flavors. Decent price point for six with a beautiful view of the plaza. Thank you Marcel, very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu and all ingredients.

Superb, reasonable priced, Peruvian cuisine. Excellent attention by Joaquin

(Translated by Google) A good place to go with family and friends, the service is good and the taste of the dishes are delicious, and the prices are affordable. (Original) Un buen lugar para ir con la familia y amigos la atención es buena y el sabor de sus platos son deliciosos, además los precios son accesibles .

(Translated by Google) The waiters take a long time to serve you, and they seem forgetful. They don't expect what the customer wants. I suggest changing and bringing in more qualified staff. The food was good, no complaints, except for the creams, which should be served separately in the clams they give you, which are very scarce. Finally, the place is fine. The only problem is the bathroom: totally unsightly, dirty, and apparently not maintained. (Original) Los meseros se demoran mucho en atenderte, y al parecer son olvidadizos, No están a la expectativa de lo que el cliente desea, Sugiero cambiar y traer mas personal calificado. La comida estuvo buena sin quejas, solo las cremas que las deberían servir aparte en las almejas que te dan vienen muy poco. Por ultimo el lugar todo ok, El único problema es el baño, impresentable total, sucio, al parecer no hay mantenimiento.

(Translated by Google) The food is delicious, recommended! But it needs more waiters, apparently they are not supplied and thus improve customer service. (Original) La comida es rica, recomendado! Pero le falta más meser@s al parecer no se abastecen y asi mejorar la atención al público.

(Translated by Google) Quite a big place (Original) Local bastante grande

(Translated by Google) It is a very spacious establishment where they prepare varied and typical food from Ayacucho. They have good service and their prices are moderate. (Original) Es un establecimiento muy espacioso donde preparan comida variada y típica de Ayacuchotiene una buena atención y sus precios son moderados.

(Translated by Google) Very bad service, bad product in terms of the seasoning of the dishes. There is a lot of room for improvement. More than an hour of waiting for a simple ceviche plate. The main living room is an oven because its roof is made of corrugated iron or a metallic material that enhances the heat and they do not have fans for a tremendous area. They only have two fans for the kitchen side but they don't think about the customers. The staff of waiters is not enough, they are not attentive to whether utensils are missing, etc. Not at all recommended. (Original) Muy mal servicio, mal producto en cuanto a la sazòn de los platos. Falta muchísimo por mejorar. Más de una hora de espera en un plato simple de ceviche. El salón principal es un horno pues su techo es de calamina o de un material metálico que potencia el calor y no tienen ventiladores para tremenda área. Solo cuentan con dos ventiladores para el lado de la cocina pero no piensan en los clientes. El personal de mozos no es suficiente, no están atentos a si faltan utensilios, etc.Nada recomendable.

(Translated by Google) Although it is a cevicheria, I ate a delicious tenderloin steak. Excellent!!! (Original) Aunque sea una cevicheria, comí un delicioso filete de lomo. Excelente!!!

The food was good as pollo a la braza is always tasty. The problem tonight was the chicken was flavorful but way too dry. The service was excellent. Most importantly, the table was on the balcony with an amazing view of the beautiful town square.

Large restaurant with lots of balcony space. Outer tables have cell phone charging outlets. I ordered the angus steak. Too much fat and connective tissue included, but the meat eas good. Received enough french fries for a family of four. My wifi internet connection timed out, which I found quite annoying. As long as I am eating or drinking, I should have internet access!

Very poor service despite of tons of waiters. Wi-Fi for some unexplained reason is only for Ios. Waiters look at you but don't even come when you stare at them. Asked for addition to order and waiter just ignored it and we just waited for 10mins asked another waiter, this promised to bring and then after a while initial waiter finally did come and ask what we want. Service requires much more development in service as well as food. The saving thing is place

Walked in, everyone greeted me. Then I sat down at a table and was completely ignored, despite there being tons of waiters. No clue what’s going on here.

My favorite place in Ayacucho. I found myself having all my meals here

Good restaurant, but why no coffee?
