Belmond Las Casitas

Belmond Las Casitas sits high in the Andes in Peru’s Colca Canyon, three hours from the city of Arequipa.

The private casitas all come with their own lounge area, a terrace with plunge pool and a garden, as well as stunning marble bathrooms with indoor and outdoor showers and a Roman-style bathtub. Choose from a garden or a valley view, or opt for the Presidential Casita, which offers sweeping views across the Colca Canyon and separate living and dining room areas.

Andean a la carte dining is on the menu at the restaurant, which makes the most of fresh ingredients 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.

There’s a heated swimming pool and a spa with treatments inspired by fresh Andean herbs and organic produce.

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 horse riding along stunning trails, go fishing for your dinner, go birdwatching, hike along scenic trails, feed the resident llamas and alpacas or take a cookery class.
