Arequipa , Peru
Opened
The estate echoes 1540 – the year in which Arequipa was built - and safeguards the unique character of its traditional arequipean architecture. CIRQA's powerful walls, arches and columns, all made of volcanic sillar rock, were conserved as carefully as possible and form the timeless nucleus of the property on the first floor where carefully designed rooms, of which some have the original high-vaulted ceiling. The rooftop will be converted into an organic garden which serves as the base for a rural style picantería in the heart of the city.
