About Hotel Hacienda los Lingues

Going into Hacienda Los Lingues® is like going back in time. It is not only a typical house of the Chilean countryside, but a living testimony of what was the time of the Colony. Everything remains as it was: the buildings are made of mud and straw; the walls are painted in colonial red and each remodeling is done by historians to preserve the original architecture. The trees adorn the patios and parks. Among boldos, quillayes, hawthorns, eucalyptus, lingues® and holm oaks grow the typical birds of the area, such as ducks, quails, pigeons, foxes, chillas, etc. The origins of the Hacienda date back to the end of the 16th century. At that time he settled in the Valley of Santiago, Don Melchor Jufré del Águila, Hidalgo Extremadura, son of a knight of the Military Order of Santiago, who served as Mayor of the capital in 1599. As a writer and successful chronicler, It gained prestige in the Santiago society and was graced by the King of Spain with the Estancia de la Angostura, located in the Central Valley.
