CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. Restorations underway.

Hacienda San José is a well-preserved colonial hacienda with a great deal of history located between Lima and Ica. The hacienda was a sugar plantation during the colonial era, and once was tended by hundreds of slaves. In 1821, the slaves joined the liberation forces of José de San Martín and the owner fled to Spain.

The hacienda has been converted into a beautiful and unique hotel with pleasant, airy rooms, wide halls and galleries, an elegant restaurant and bar. On weekends, they feature a special creole buffet. 

Popular activities at the hacienda include horseback riding, tractor rides, and exploring the hacienda itself, which features a chapel as well as catacombs and underground tunnels thought to once have been used to smuggle slaves. There is a travel agency which can arrange visits to sites of local interest, such as the Ica desert and the Nazca Lines.
