THE HOTEL
Las Casitas del Colca is Peru's hidden gem, a collection of luxurious cottage villas with a fabulous spa, set in the peace and serenity of the remote Colca Canyon. Nestled high in the Andes, offers a rare opportunity to experience the traditional beauty of Peru.
Accommodation comprises twenty individual casitas in simple, unpretentious surroundings. Each casita has a lounge and sleeping area, indoor and outdoor shower. Traditional architecture and rustic styling are complemented by beautiful furniture and artful, handcrafted furnishings to create a homely, cosy feel.
Surrounded by awe-inspiring landscapes this hotel is wonderfully relaxed, although there is plenty to do. Spot condors high overhead, hike through the fields or visit the hotel's farm. Spend time in harmony with this lush valley's nature and local community, with complete freedom to do as much or as little as you wish.
The Hotels you (Charlie Lockwood) selected were superb in Peru, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, what a pleasure it has been to stay in the Orient Express Hotels, everyone was so helpful, the exception being the Four Seasons Hotel in Buenos Aires equally superb.
