Colca Canyon, Peru

Belmond Las Casitas

An Insider's Take
'Perched dramatically on the rim of one of the world's deepest canyons, this luxury retreat offers front-row seats to soaring Andean condors and ancient terraced landscapes that have remained unchanged for centuries.' What's Special? Each private casita features a cozy fireplace and panoramic canyon views, while the property sits at the perfect elevation (3,260m) to experience the mystical Colca Canyon without severe altitude effects. The hotel's location offers exclusive access to witness the magnificent Andean condors during their morning thermal rides—a spectacle that draws wildlife enthusiasts from around the globe.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Visit Cruz del Cóndor viewpoint at sunrise (6:30-8:30 AM) when thermal currents are strongest and condors with 10-foot wingspans glide just meters away—it's only a 30-minute drive from the hotel.
Don't Miss The ancient Inca agricultural terraces of Yanque village and the natural hot springs of La Calera, where you can soak in mineral-rich waters while gazing up at snow-capped Andean peaks. The hotel can arrange guided visits to local Quechua communities where traditional weaving techniques dating back 500 years are still practiced today.
