Anyone wanting to unwind and enjoy the remote and wild beauty of this peaceful area of Peru.
High in the Andes in Peru’s Colca Canyon, three hours from the city of Arequipa.
There are 20 private casitas all with their own lounge area, a terrace with plunge pool and garden, indoor and outdoor showers, a wood burning fire place and an iPod dock. For families there are four pairs of connecting casitas. Las Casitas del Colca also has a Presidential Casita which offers incredible views along the Colca Valley.
Andean a la carte dining is on the menu at the restaurant Curiña, where fresh ingredients are used from the hotel’s own farm. With a large selection of fine liquors and cocktails, the Lobby Bar is a great place to kick back and watch the sunset.
You’ll want to make the most of staying in such a spectacular part of Peru and at Las Casitas del Colca, all activities are included. Go horseback riding along stunning trails, or go fishing for your dinner, bird watching, walking/hiking, feed the resident llamas and alpacas or take a cookery class. There’s also a heated swimming pool and the Spa Samay with treatments inspired by fresh Andean herbs and organic produce.
At night, make sure you try out Las Casitas del Colca’s powerful telescope. The skies here are some of the clearest you’ll experience.
