He was a notable polygraph and his works included treatises on law, literary history, the history of Peru, legal philosophy and religious thought, many of which have had great impact and fundamental influence on the development of Peruvian culture. His thought followed a changing trajectory, evolving from a youthful liberalism to a severe conservatism rooted in Christianity. He did not marry or leave an inheritance, bequeathing most of his fortune (made up of agricultural estates and works of art) to the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru, thus becoming the main benefactor of the institution, which created the Riva-Agüero Institute three years after his death.
