Festivals, Holidays And Events
This area is well known for its festivals throughout the year. Almost every day there is a celebration in one of the surrounding villages, even in Ayacucho itself. Check with the tourist office.
The airport is to the east of the city along Avenida Castilla. Ataxi to the centre costs US$2. Walk half a block down the street from the airport for a bus or colectivo to the Plaza Mayor. A new Terminal Terrestre opened in June 2008 in Urbanización Los Artesanos, at the end of Avenida Confraternidad, 10 minutes northwest of the centre. This is a large city but the interesting churches and colonial houses are all fairly close to the Plaza Mayor. Barrio Santa Ana is further away to the south and you will probably want to take a taxi to get to it (US$1; its easy to walk back). Taxis are cheap and mototaxis are plentiful.
