Peru by Bus

For most travelers, especially those on a tight budget, Peru’s buses provide a cheap way to get from place to place. It’s important to remember, however, that not all buses, or bus companies, are created equal. For reasons of comfort, consistency and, more importantly, safety, you should stick with the more reputable and reliable bus companies whenever possible. How Safe is Bus Travel in Peru? Peru has a shocking record in terms of traffic accidents and fatalities. The majority of these accidents, however, involve low-budget bus companies with poor security features and antiquated fleets. Furthermore, the top-end companies collect passengers from designated areas only (normally their own terminals), rather than off the street.

Ayacucho is famous for its 33 churches, which represent one for each year of Jesus' life. Ayacucho has large religious celebrations, especially during the Holy Week of Easter. These celebrations include horse races featuring Peruvian Caballos de Paso and the traditional running of the bulls, known locally as the jalatoro or pascuatoro. The jalatoro is similar to the Spanish encierro, except that the bulls are led by horses of the Morochucos. The name is derived from the Quechua words aya (death) and kuchu ("corner"), referring to a major battle for independence.
