Like most of the many small towns scattered in the valley, it is a touristic area, with natural attractions such as hills and streams, as well as historical colonial buildings and pre-Columbian ruins.

The town was officially founded on 23 March 1848, upon the construction of a chapel dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary.

At the time the region was a ranch (estancia) known as Merced de Quisquizacate.

In the second half of the 17th century Juan Liendo acquired the lands and employed them for three ranches: Santa Ana, Tanti and Tanticuchu.
