Hacienda Sarapampa: Situated in a privileged location in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the property is just 45 minutes from the city of Cusco and 5 minutes from the town of Pisac. Hacienda Sarapampa offers visitors the opportunity to have a unique cultural experience around traditions associated with corn production practices in an authentic and natural environment. On a tour with the owner, the visitor will appreciate how the development of the haciendas in the Sacred Valley was predominantly for agricultural use, focusing on the production of corn, potatoes and other crops. The farms conditioned the social and political life in Cusco in the 16th century. During the 18th century, large estates or haciendas were formed until their dismemberment during the Agrarian Reform in the 20th century. Hacienda Sarapampa has over 3,000m2 of green areas and spaces for exclusive events in perfect communion with agricultural traditions, creating a unique experience in an unforgettable setting. Dedicated to agricultural production for three generations, Hacienda Sarapampa is a family business that focuses primarily on the production of Giant White Corn. This is a unique corn variety characterized by its extraordinary size that grows only inside the boundaries of the Sacred Valley of Cusco. It was adapted to its specific conditions after an outstanding job of varietal selection during the Inca Empire. Little is known about the origins of this variety; however, it is a silent witness of the immense knowledge on agriculture reached by the ancient Peruvians.
