Did the name of this district, Pocsi, perhaps originate from a misunderstanding? Legend has it that the founder, Captain Juan Maldonado Buendía, originally suggested the name “San Francisco de Pocsi”. This was to honor Saint Francis. However, somewhere along the line, the “San Francisco de” was dropped! Today, Pocsi stands as a testament to this quirk of history. Established in 1540, Pocsi predates even the founding of Arequipa! Pocsi is much more than just a name on a map. It holds the key to understanding the region’s captivating past. Imagine the echoes of Spanish colonization in its charming streets. Pocsi bears witness to a time when the world was being reshaped by exploration and conquest. The echoes of the past whisper through the very heart of Pocsi, where we stand today.
