Hacienda El Triunfo in Cusco
Nature, Culture and Unique Experiences
A Legacy That Endures
In the depths of Cusco's high jungle, where the Andes meet the Amazon, there exists a place where time seems to have stopped. Hacienda El Triunfo is more than a cacao-producing farm; it's a living testimony to Peru's agricultural history.
Founded in the early 20th century, the hacienda has maintained traditional cultivation techniques passed down from generation to generation.
The Cacao Process
From selecting the pods to drying the beans, each step of the process reflects a commitment to quality and respect for the land.
Pods are manually collected when they reach their optimal ripeness.
Beans ferment for 5-7 days in traditional wooden boxes.
Natural sun drying preserves the characteristic aromas and flavors.

Flora and Fauna
The hacienda is a biodiversity refuge. Among the cacao crops, numerous species of birds, butterflies, and small mammals find their home in this ecosystem.
Common Birds
