This 19th-century hacienda, once the residence of a prosperous landowner, now serves as a vibrant tapestry of Andean culture, art, and history. Its restoration preserves the essence of its past while playfully incorporating whimsical details—spot a Beatrix Potter-inspired garden cottage, a secret door reminiscent of a Bond villain’s lair, and political figures within an indigenous mural.

Amidst the Chopin minuets, the working stables, and thoughtfully placed armchairs and magazines, you can escape to a world full of continuous discovery.
