I stayed at Casa Hacienda Shismay in September 2012, and had an incredible experience at this converted Hacienda. The community of Shismay, along with the former Hacienda owner, have converted this lodge into a regional destination for hiking, Andean culture and cuisine, and sustainable tourism. The Hacienda is located about 45 minutes outside of Huánuco in the folds of the green Andes. Upon arrival, we toured the Hacienda and learned about its rich history from its founding by German settlers to its dismantling in the 1960s. We strolled around the community and absorbed the rhythms of daily life, and ended the day with fresh tamales and wonderful bread. An unforgettable experience off Peru´s (very) beaten tourist trail. Highly recommend!
