Wari culture

The Wari (Spanish: Huari)are a Middle Horizon civilization that flourishes in the south-central Andes and coastal area of modern-day Peru, from about CE 500 to 1000.

(The Wari culture is not to be confused with the modern ethnic group and language known as Wari', with which it has no known link.)

Wari, as the former capital city was called, is located 11 km (6.8 mi) northeast of the modern city of Ayacucho, Peru.

This city is the center of a civilization that coverei much of the highlands and coast of modern Peru.

The best-preserved remnants, beside the Wari Ruins, are the recently discovered Northern Wari ruins near the city of Chiclayo, and Cerro Baul in Moquegua.

Also well-known are the Wari ruins of Pikillaqta ("Flea Town"), a short distance southeast of Cuzco en route to Lake Titicaca.
