A photograph of my parents in Arica, taken at an atelier where people pose in antique 19th-century attire, was unexpectedly found and brought back memories of our first partners in the Hotel Boutique de Su Merced project.

Hardworking and creative, they gave the initial push to establish a "boutique hotel" that would highlight our identity. Later, others followed, inspired by the path opened by Su Merced.

Blending "the old" with "the new"—an effective symbiosis that allowed us to make the most of every family heirloom while venturing into the competitive world of tourism.
