Pampahuaylla

Pampahuaylla lies in the eastern highlands of Ayacucho, in the country around San Miguel. Here the Andes descend towards the Apurímac basin, where forested slopes and deeply cut valleys give way to the warmer lands beyond the high ridges. Quechua-speaking communities inhabit this mountainous region, whose varied elevations encompass both upland country and the approaches to the eastern forest.
