Pampas de Ayacucho Historical Sanctuary

The sanctuary spans 300 hectares across elevated plains near Condorcunca hill, featuring native plants and diverse bird species at 3,400 meters altitude.

The Battle of Ayacucho on December 9, 1824, resulted in Peru's independence from Spain after patriotic forces defeated the royalist army at this location.

The 44-meter marble obelisk, constructed in 1968, displays bronze statues of military leaders including Antonio José de Sucre and Simon Bolivar.

The site connects to Ayacucho city through highways 3S and 38B, requiring approximately one hour of travel time from the regional capital.

The sanctuary contains archaeological remains of the Wari civilization, which developed between 500 and 1000 AD in this mountainous region.
