A hidden gem in the Peruvian Andes, Belmond Las Casitas del Colca is a secluded hideaway nestled in the shadow of mist-tipped mountains.
The estate offers a Peruvian a la carte restaurant, an outdoor stone swimming pool, a tranquil treatment spa with eucalyptus steam room, an organic vegetable garden, a small farm and a delightfully restored chapel. Its 20 private bungalows, each with under-floor heating, a private terrace, a heated plunge pool, a fireplace and an al fresco shower, are luxuriously appointed in a style that fuses lavish marble features with a showcase of traditional Peruvian touches.
Aside from the luxurious aesthetics and warmth of the local communities, it is the privacy and seclusion of the bungalows that make this place to special. From your own private terrace, take in views of the gardens or lush valley and pre-Inca terraces that define this landscape. By night, share a bottle of a wine under a canopy of stars.
Within the estate, visit the small farm that is home to horses and baby alpacas, explore the organic vegetable garden that provides ingredients for the world-class chefs, brew your own tea infusion from local herbs, or indulge in a Peruvian ritual treatment or altitude massage at the botanical spa.
Further afield, head out on horseback to navigate through the pristine forests of the Colca Canyon, set off on foot for walks and hikes across undulating terrain with eagles overhead, unleash your creativity during an outdoor painting workshop, or embark on a culinary adventure during a distinctively Peruvian cooking class.
Most of the ingredients used in the world-class restaurant are harvested from the estate’s own gardens and sourced from the surrounding local fields. Aside from the guarantee of freshness and seasonality, the delicious cheeses, peppers, honey and herbs sourced from the land sustain the local farming community.
Belmond Las Casitas del Colca is situated within the Colca Canyon in the Peruvian Andes, approximately 3.5 hours away from Arequipa.
