There is a place that fills us with pride in the mountains of our country. La Pampa was the site where the Battle of Ayacucho took place on December 9, 1824, a confrontation that forever sealed the independence of Peru and much of Latin America from Spanish rule.
On the 196th anniversary of this important event, we tell you that in honor of all the heroes who gave their lives in this battle, a gigantic marble obelisk was built there in which six sculptures made of stone stand out that represent the generals who led the contest: José María Córdova, José de la Mar, Antonio José de Sucre, Guillermo Miller, Jacinto Lara and Agustín Gamarra.
The curious thing is that the 44-meter-high obelisk was designed by a Spanish artist named Aurelio Bernandino Arias, who in 1968 stated that his work represents “close to half a century of struggle for American freedom and independence, since the Túpac revolution. Amaru II in 1780, until the victorious culmination in the pampas of Ayacucho.”
40 years ago this destination was recognized as the Historical Sanctuary of the Pampa de Ayacucho and has become one of the most visited attractions in this region. In this place you can contemplate the beautiful blue sky with clouds that look like pieces of cotton, and along the way you will see the flight of local birds such as the puna partridge, the guarahuau, the huallata, the lique lique and the kulle kulle.
This 300-hectare historic Peruvian sanctuary is located at 3,396 meters above sea level. n. m. and is located at the foot of the Condorcunca hill, while on its right side is the waterfall and the Apu Amaru hill, where there is a great variety of flora species, among which the wild clover, the plantain and the pinco pinco stand out, as well as herbs such as ichu, peccoy and chilifrutilla.
When you visit Ayacucho later, be sure to go to this tourist attraction, which for many is the best place in this region to take panoramic photos, and in the process you will feel more Peruvian than ever.
