The first member of the Orihuela family left Spain for Peruvian shores more than 350 years ago, founding a plantation in the fertile Urubamba Valley.
Here the family was to plant giant white maize, a unique variety which has won international awards for its unrivaled quality. One of the family's descendants, José Orihuela Yábar, in addition to continuing the family's farming tradition, gathered a valuable collection of Colonial art over a period of half a century.
With the aim of housing and exhibiting this priceless collection, Don José decided to build the country mansion.
Located on the summit of a hill sheltered amidst the archaeological sites of Pisac and Ollantaytambo, from where guests will find one of the finest views of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the Casa-Hacienda Orihuela opens its doors to select visitors, who will be rewarded with a glimpse into the rich and intense past of this family.

While a large part of this valuable cultural legacy is to be found at museums in the city of Cusco, the mansion today houses a vast collection of folk art, with pieces dating back to the seventeenth century. Colonial paintings, ceremonial goblets known as keros, pottery,porcelain and Huamanga stone relics are just part of what you will discover during your visit.

A blend of Spanish traditions with indigenous
customs inherited since the dawn of time, this plantation manor is a perfect spot to sample life in the country, learn about typical locally harvested products and admire the colorful flora.
The visit is capped off by a superb meal prepared with fresh produce from the plantation.
The current inhabitants of the house, the Lambarri-Orihuela family, will be your hosts.
