The population of Ayacucho are descendants of the Wari culture, creators of one of the first empires in the history of South America during the 6th and 12th century. As a heritage, they left the city of Wari, a urban and ceremonial center. Known as the Churches city, the is almost a temple around each corner in Ayacucho. The Cathedral of the Jesus Company, San Francisco de Asis, Santo Domingo and Santa Clara are only some of the various churches that we encounter in this town.
