“Haciendas” and “Estancias”, how we call the local farms, are the getaway to understand traditions, history and culture of many generations in each country.

The Haciendas in the Andes are found within 500 and 4000 mts. above sea level, and they spread over the entire highland region. Each one has unique characteristics and local legends that develop from myths and stories since Inca times. Starting from the first inhabitants in each land, their settlements and incredible irrigation systems, to later the influence of the Spanish Colonization. They are not only productive, but historically and architecturally impressive.
