Description
The Hacienda, located about 15 kilometers from the city center of Cusco, Peru, is an architectural and cultural gem that offers a unique experience for visitors. Surrounded by an impressive natural environment, the hacienda embodies the rich history of the Spanish colonial era and the beauty of the southern valley, also an integral part of the sacred valley of the Incas. Its strategic location, very close to the city of Cusco, just 15 km or 45 minutes by urban bus service, together with its well-preserved colonial architecture, make it a charming and fascinating tourist destination. The Hacienda is much more than a wedding and event venue; It is a family and a very important artistic-cultural heritage within the Andean Baroque route in South America. It is a historical and cultural treasure that captivates visitors with its colonial charm, natural beauty and rich history. The family gives you the opportunity to meet us and thanks you very much for the support in the conservation and care to make Hacienda sustainable over time.

Su ubicación estratégica, muy cercana a la ciudad del Cusco, a solo 15 km o 45 minutos en autobús de servicio urbano, junto con su arquitectura colonial bien conservada, la convierten en un destino turístico encantador y fascinante. La Hacienda es mucho más que un local de bodas y eventos; es una familia y un patrimonio artístico-cultural muy importante dentro de la ruta del barroco andino en Sudamérica. Es un tesoro histórico y cultural que cautiva a los visitantes con su encanto colonial, su belleza natural y su rica historia. La familia te da la oportunidad de conocernos y te agradece mucho por el apoyo en la conservacion y cuidado para hacer de hacienda sostenible en el tiempo.

Cuchita (2 years)
Cucha is our beloved Romano-colored cat at the hacienda. She is playful and a little mischievous, but also incredibly responsible — she protects the house from pericotes, mice, and rats, and takes her job very seriously. Everyone here loves her for her sweet personality and good manners.
She is fully vaccinated and very well-behaved. Although she enjoys exploring every corner of the hacienda, she is not allowed to enter the bedrooms, and she respects that rule.
Cucha is truly part of our team and of the spirit of Hacienda Canopata.
