Belmond Las Casitas

Providing the chance for a secluded getaway, Las Casitas is the ultimate place to unwind. Situated on the left bank of the Colca River and just ten minutes outside of the charming village of Yanque, the setting here is ethereal and exclusive. 

Spacious casitas overlook the expansive valley, and the beautiful grounds of the lodge. The winding bio-orchards, numerous greenhouses and farm where horses, pigs, llamas and baby alpacas roam freely provide ample opportunity to engage fully with the natural virtues of the Colca Valley. 

From the front door of your private lodge, trek out into the ancient footpaths surrounding, or saddle up and explore on one of the beautiful Peruvian Paso horses. Hire mountain bikes, or set off at the crack of dawn with world-renowned birding experts to experience the Condor in all its vast glory.

Las Casitas provides both an opportunity to explore, and an opportunity to relax. After a day’s excursion, delve into a book from the library, and settle by the swimming pool made of local stone, under the healing mountain sun. As the day turns to evening, angle for your supper in the trout pond and enjoy a tea brewed from muna leaves picked by your very own hands. 

Aromatic eucalyptus groves lead weary travellers to the Samay Spa for natural treatments of heated basalt stones from the Colca Canyon and infusions of sacred coca leaves. This secluded retreat is all about connecting with nature’s healing properties.

Enjoy a drink at the Puccq’lo Bar, where cocktails are made from fresh mountain fruits and rest well after gorging yourself on the colourful and organic produce of the valley.
