Las Casitas del Colca

Family Escape - 3 Days

A perfectly formed break with a chance to explore the sites of the Colca Canyon, and taste true Peruvian cuisine made with locally grown produce in our cookery classes and restaurant.

1st Day

After a beautiful drive to Colca it is time to relax and find your feet. After being shown to your Casita and unpacking, we recommend a dip in the pool and a wonder round the resort to meet the alpacas. Before taking dinner with views of the Canyon and typical Andean cuisine created with fresh produce from our farm.

 
2nd Day

A meander through the Colca Canyon on the unique Peruvian Paso horse is not to be missed, this beautiful bred of horse that is chosen for its smooth ride and acclimatization to the Andean climate.
 
At 09.00 guests depart Las Casitas del Colca on horseback and take the old road to Yanque.  The route crosses the Cervantes Bridge on the way to Ichupampa, visiting Lagunilla.  At Lagunilla the horses are left to rest while guests return to the Las Casitas del Colca in a vehicle.  Guests who would prefer to go to Uyu Uyu on the ride can request this in advance.
 
In the Evening we would like to treat you to something special, a clear view of the night sky. Colca Canyon is completely free of light pollution and the view of the stars is unrivalled. The combination of stars and the peace of the Colca Canyon is truly magical, and of course we will be on hand to provide hot chocolate and blankets should you need it.

 

3rd Day

Spend the morning in our cookery school discovering the secrets of Peruvian cuisine, one of the most diverse cuisines in the world. Our chefs will talk you through using typical Peruvian ingredients like quinoa and help you to create an authentic Peruvian dish. All of the ingredients are sourced from our farm and are wonderfully fresh.

After tucking in to your freshly prepared food for lunch relax around the resort and enjoy some of the activities on site like fishing in our trout ponds, feeding the Alpacas and enjoying the pool and our spa.
