Hacienda San José (hotel)

The Hacienda San José is located in the District of El Carmen, in the Province of Chincha, in the Region of Ica, Peru.

The first news about San José Manor House dates back to 1688 when Rosa Josepha de Muñatones y Aguado married Don Andrés Salazar.

El Carmen village dates back to those times (1811), where many slaves used to hide, escaping from the extensive abuse they had on the plantations.

The Chincha Valley was shocked to see General Don José de San Martin and his troops disembarking at Pisco.

Some slaves managed to escape the plantations to join the Libertador's troops, and Fernando Carillo de Albornoz y Salazar fled to Spain with two of his children, abandoning his wife, Petronila Zavala, and his youngest son, José.

In 1960, after the Agrarian Law was passed, during the first mandate of President Fernando Belaunde, the lands were split among Manuela Eguren's children.
