Located in the Ayacucho region of south-central Peru, Malkara is a small town in the Andean hinterland that combines colonial history and indigenous culture. It is about 2,800 meters above sea level, with a mild climate, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. The town retains its typical Spanish colonial architectural style, with the stone streets of the central plaza, the baroque Iglesio de San Cristóbal, and other historical monuments that bear witness to its status as a major trading town in the past. The local population, mostly Quechua, still carries on traditional textile and wood carving crafts, and the colorful national costumes and traditional dances of the Inti Raymi festival in June attract many tourists. The area around Marcala is predominantly agricultural, producing Andean crops such as potatoes and quinoa, and is an ideal starting point for experiencing the culture of the Peruvian highlands and exploring the ruins of the surrounding ancient civilizations on foot.
