Las Casitas, A Belmond Hotel.

Las Casitas offers a quiet, village-style retreat on the floor of the Colca Valley, far removed from the typical resort layout. The property consists of just 20 individual stone cottages spread across a working farm, each featuring a private heated plunge pool, a wood-burning fireplace, and under-floor heating for the crisp Andean nights. The aesthetic is rustic but polished, defined by high beamed ceilings and marble bathrooms with outdoor showers. Guests share the grounds with a resident herd of alpacas and can explore the onsite kitchen garden that supplies the Curiña restaurant. Beyond the gates, the focus is on the canyon’s dramatic geography—ranging from guided treks to pre-Inca granaries to morning trips for condor spotting at nearby lookout points.
