Audio Guide of the Church of Santo Domingo of Huamanga

The church is open Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. It is located in the historic center of Huamanga (28 de Julio Jr. 270). You can easily get there on foot from the Main Square or by taxi. Check for updates at Huamanga Tourism.

Admission is free, although voluntary donations are accepted for the maintenance of the church. No prior reservation is required for individual visits.

We recommend between 30 minutes and 1 hour to appreciate its Baroque architecture, gilded altarpieces, and the emblematic triangular bell tower, unique in South America.

Founded in 1548, it is a colonial jewel that blends Andean and Spanish architecture. It stands out for its pink Huamanga stone and houses paintings from the Cusco school. It played a key role in evangelization during the Viceroyalty.

Visit between April and October (dry season) to enjoy clear skies. To avoid crowds, arrive before 10 am on weekdays. During Holy Week it is especially impressive.

It has limitations due to colonial steps and uneven floors. Contact (+51) 966 145 632 for specific assistance. The main entrance has 3 steps and no ramp.

A 5-minute walk away you will find: Huamanga Cathedral, the Andrés Avelino Cáceres Museum, and the Santa Ana Handicrafts Market. Learn more at Peru Tourism.

Wear comfortable shoes (cobblestone streets), bring water because of the altitude (2,761 m above sea level), and respect Mass schedules. To learn more about its history, download the audio guide from IAudioguia.com.
