Captain Francisco de Orellana started the Amazon expedition on December 26, 1541, undertaking the first navigation of the world’s longest and mightiest river. He took fifty- seven men on board the fragile ship San Pedro, to sail the tumultuous Coca River. As the boat was not adequate, the company decided on the construction of a greater brig, the Victoria. Turning Trujillo into the "Source of the Amazonia" and the center for the discovery and conquista of America.

Living the Medieval Villa.


Within the walled medieval City of Trujillo, hard by the 13th century church of "Santa María La Mayor de La Asunción," stands the noble ancestral house in which was born the explorer and Discoverer of the Amazon, Francisco de Orellana. Watched over by its crenellated tower, this private historic hotel, with its arched entrance under the shield of the Orellanas, offers testimony of a city that for centuries lived the protagonism of its historical era.
