Hacienda “Santa Blanca”
Chanchamayo, Peru

This hacienda is in the Peruvian forest. It was built before 1880 by a French man and then many Wissar’s family generations dedicated to produce coffee and fruits, but this pictures were taken in August, when there’s no production, so I decided to focus my composition to project the other history, the one has always exists and the one who was the guilty to be built this hacienda at this place: the nature. This place is between mountains, full of thousands of plants and animals. Some part of them are only from this part of the jungle, and the other part are known by us because we can found them in everywhere, like ants or chicken, but in this place they interactive between the prehistoric jungle and the modern built of the hacienda. All this mix between the jungle and this old hacienda makes a sense of relax and peace, something that we can not found in most part of the country and makes this place so special.
