Highlights

 
  • The land where the mansion sits today was assigned in the l500s to the Spanish founder of the city of Arequipa, don Garci Manuel de Carbajal.
  • The mansion is surrounded by gardens and the Socabaya Valley, which provides beautiful views of, among other things, the Volcanoes Misti, Chachani, and Pichu Picchu.
  • The mansion was abandoned for several years until 1981, when a group of local architects bought and rebuild it, opening it to the public in 1987. Each room is decorated with Colonial and Republican furniture and art.
  • One hour should be allowed to visit the mansion and its surroundings. When walking around the mansion be sure to use sunscreen.
  • The mansion is located at 2,228 meters above sea level; therefore, altitude sickness could be an issue.
