heard the Hacienda San Agustín Mentar
El Callao is a city for which Lima is entered through the port or airport. Takeoff or above you can see large green fields, one from the mainland can not be found, then an image produced appear the excitement of travel or return. These fields are green fields stretching behind the Jorge Chávez International Airport, but there is not only farms but also people who work daily, houses, a chapel, a soup kitchen, a medical post, a soccer field, a stable, canals that irrigate the fields, a farmhouse and a wall through which you can see the airport. This place is the Hacienda San Agustín.
Bocanegra was the valley that stretched from the Rimac River to the Rio Chillon. Between the two rivers were the haciendas Márquez, Bocanegra, Taboada, Santa Rosa, Oquendo and St. Augustine. These estates were used for growing sugar and cotton until the early twentieth century. In this same period was established yanaconaje system, which was that the landowner leased a parcel to a worker and he was paid with the first crop of cotton and the landowner would sell only the rest of the production. All these estates, with the exception of St. Augustine, after the agrarian reform of '70 went through a process of accelerated urbanization in the late '80s. St. Augustine was in the fields of culture, architecture, customs and lifestyles of the estate only without the presence and mandate of the landowner.
In the '50s began construction of the current international airport on a part of the land of the hacienda San Agustin, it took place during the government of Manuel Prado, owner the hacienda. Since the construction of the airport of St. Augustine residents have acquired the status of a possible extension eradicable, as Mr Alberto Donaire, for that reason do not have a title. In the early '80s, due to internal migration in Callao and Lima was experiencing a great need for housing, for that reason created several settlements, among them were formed Sarita Colonia, Juan Pablo II and Acapulco on the part of the land in San Augustine.
since 2000 has undertaken the project of renovation and expansion of the airport at which the residents of St. Augustine will definitely be evicted and removed fields. Excerpt from Book Introduction Mentar heard the Hacienda San Agustín. Convenio Andres Bello. Bogotá. 2007.
