Belmond Las Casitas
Colca Canyon, the world’s second-deepest, is home to ancient, terraced fields, timeless traditions, countless treks — and Belmond Las Casitas. Giant Andean condors circle above this secluded, 20-room sanctuary and its tiny farm (home to the requisite llamas and baby alpacas). There’s an organic garden as well, its bounty transformed daily into tasty, authentic dishes. You can hike, ride horses or take a guided bicycle tour; fish the quiet trout ponds, then turn your catch over to the chefs for your evening’s meal. You may also join them for a hands-on class to learn the secrets of Peruvian cooking.
Book a casita with a view of the Colca Valley so you can pamper yourself at a heated plunge pool on your private terrace.
