Cusco

Casa Clara

A Premier Historical Monument Rooted in the original plan of colonial Cusco, Casa Clara has lived many lives — from convent to aristocratic home — and now stands as a restored landmark where history and quiet elegance converge.

Casa Clara occupies a two-story colonial house built with local stone and wood. Arched patios, carved balconies, and tiled roofs preserve the quiet grace of Cusco’s traditional homes.

Catholic Convent

Once part of the Monastery of Santa Clara, founded in 1558 as a retreat for the daughters of conquistadors. The Clarist nuns later moved to a new site, leaving behind a structure that still carries the imprint of devotion and history.

Rooted in Corn

White, golden, deep purple. Peru’s native corn comes in many colors, and each one carries the memory of the land it grew from. Here, it finds its place at the table.
