Lonely Planet review for La Mansión del Fundador
The 17th-century La Mansión del Fundador, once owned by Arequipa’s founder Garcí Manuel de Carbajal, has been restored with original furnishings and paintings, and even has its own chapel. The mansion is in the village of Huasacache, 9km from Arequipa’s city center, most easily reached by taxi (round-trip S20). Local city tours occasionally stop here.
