The Best Hotels Near Las Casitas, A Belmond Hotel, by the Record
-
Each of the twenty casitas at this Belmond resort sits on its own acre in the Colca Valley, a canyon country that makes the Grand Canyon feel modest. It's a small-villa luxury experience in the high Andes, with plunge pools, soaking tubs, and underfloor heating keeping things comfortable after a day on horseback. The Michelin Guide awarded it 3 Keys. Getting here takes effort; Arequipa is a hundred miles away, which is rather the point.

Canvas tents with open-air soaking tubs, adobe cottages with clawfoot baths, and alpacas wandering past your terrace: Puqio brought safari-style tented camp lodging to Peru for the first time, and it landed in the Colca Valley, gateway to one of the planet's deepest canyons. Meals are cooked over open fires and served family-style in a wood-warmed lodge. Condors circle overhead often enough to feel possible, not promised.
