Via Via Plaza

Top choice in Ayacucho


One of the more imaginative sleeping options in central Ayacucho is Via Via, with an enviable plaza location and cool, vibrantly decorated rooms themed around different countries and continents. Travelers will feel like they’ve landed in a veritable oasis, all centered on a plant-filled courtyard. English and Dutch are spoken, and there's a popular 2nd-floor restaurant hangout alongside.

The owners have now opened a second hotel, Via Via Alameda, in the colonial property formerly known as Hotel El Marqués de Valdelirios.
