Hacienda San José
Step back in time at the legendary Hacienda San José, a beautifully preserved 17th-century colonial estate that played a pivotal role in Peru’s plantation history. Now a luxurious 5-star hotel, it was once one of the largest haciendas in the region, worked by enslaved Africans brought through the illegal trade.
Join your guide for an emotional and fascinating journey through the estate, including a tour of its extensive underground slave tunnels, which stretch 17km to the coast. This is a rare and powerful experience, offering insights into Peru’s Afro-Peruvian heritage and the legacy that shaped its coastal culture.
