Facilities

Las Casitas del Colca is located on the left bank of the Colca River in the Colca Canyon.

The Casitas

There are twenty individual luxury casitas dotted throughout the property, including one Presidential Casita.  Decorated in the local style, these casitas offer supreme luxury in beautiful natural surroundings. 

Each casita measures approximately 120 metres square, of which 80 metres square is indoor space.  Casitas boast a foyer, and a lounge and sleeping area.  Bathrooms feature indoor and outdoor showers and each casita has a private terrace and heated plunge pool.

Dining & Bar

The Restaurant is located in the main building on the property.  Food for the restaurant is grown by the property's own farm, which allows you to select the ingredients for your meal directly from the fields.  The unique open plan kitchen means that you can watch as the chefs prepare your food. 

The Lobby Bar is an ideal place to relax after a day trekking in the Colca Canyon and boasts a large variety of best quality liquors, cocktails and refreshments. 

Room service is also available between 06.00 and 22.00 where guests can choose to dine in the privacy of their own room, or on their terrace overlooking the Colca Canyon.

The Spa Samay

The Spa Samay takes its name from the ancient Inca language, Quecha, and means 'rest'.  The four treatment rooms offer a range of treatments inspired by the Andean culture, and created using indigenous products from the Colca Valley and the highlands of Peru.

The Samay Spa and Swimming Pool are due to open in mid-June 2008.

The Library

At Las Casitas del Colca the emphasis has been placed on attention to detail and responding to your every need.  The Library provides a computer with internet access and the facility to download digital images from your camera onto DVD, creating precious space for more photographs of your stunning surroundings.

The Pool

Relax in our free form swimming pool which blends into the surroundings, allowing you to feel a part of nature as you relax in the cooling waters.

The Vegetable Garden & The Farm

There is an extensive vegetable garden on the property where organic produce is grown for our kitchens.  With five natural greenhouses, a prickly pear orchard and numerous vegetable beds this is a delight for gardeners and food lovers alike.

Our small farm is also located on the property and houses a number of animals from horses, cows and llamas to baby alpacas.
 
Leisure & Activities

In a location as awe-inspiring as the Colca Canyon there are numerous outdoor activities available.  Don your hiking boots and set out on one of the walks or treks in the local area.  Alternatively, head out on a bicycle or horseback to discover some of the fascinating local towns. 

If you prefer a more sedentary pace of life try your hand at fishing on one of our trout lakes using a traditional rod, or train your eyes to the skies in search of the indigenous humming bird, the largest in the world.  As night falls the telescope at Las Casitas del Colca will reveal the delights of the night sky.
