Chincha

Afro-Peruvian culture

Chincha has one of the most vibrant Afro-Peruvian cultures in the country. It’s also a reliably sunny place with a wide sand beach.

Hacienda San José

One of the best places to visit in Chincha is the Hacienda San José which today is a museum full of antiques. A guided tour also takes you into the tunnels built for the hacienda owners to hide from pirates raiding the Peruvian coast. Tours explain the history of enslaved Africans bought by the Spanish colonists, which is part of Chincha’s unique culture today. The hacienda’s chapel is dedicated to San Martín de Porres, the first saint with African heritage in the Americas. He was an African-Peruvian Dominican monk, beatified in 1837 and canonized in 1962.
