Forgotten Ruins
The most important ruins of the Wari culture are located north of the city of Ayacucho and close to the towns that were devastated by terrorism. The Wari culture was born in the centre of Ayacucho, from which it expands. It was the first empire in Peru. The excavation has hardly advanced, not only because of terrorism, but also because there were remains, but the excavation was left unfinished, jeopardizing the conservation of the ruins. The road in the middle of the ruins is both noticeable and unfortunate.
