    Historical Background

    The Fundo Quipico has approximately 400 years of history. History that includes the political life of Peru, such as José de San Martín. José de San Martin was a liberator and Supreme Protector (equivalent to President) of Peru. Years later, documents and maps were found that José de San Martín had left during his stay at Quipico. Moreover, El Fundo Quipico has a chapel that was ordered to be built by Don Francisco de la Guerra y Daga in 1650. This chapel has the name of San Juan de Quipico. Due to the 1970 earthquake, parts of the chapel were destroyed, therefore, nowadays it is in a dilapidated and delicate state. Currently, this chapel is recognized as Cultural Heritage by the INC (National Institute of Culture).
