AREQUIPA & COLCA CANYON HOTELS

---

Las Casitas del Colca is not a hotel; it is a collection of luxury villas surrounding the resort’s restaurant, pool, and spa. Here, guests enjoy the privacy of personal accommodations with the convenience of comfortable shared facilities and exquisite service. Each “casita” (which means little house in Spanish) features heated floors, a fireplace, and a private terrace with heated plunge pool. There are also several combined casitas, which are connected with a common lobby area. These are perfect for large families or groups.

What was once a grand colonial mansion, the Casa de la Moneda (mint house), and a national monument is now a living museum and one of the finest hotels in Peru. This historic mansion with its high vaulted ceilings, colonial courtyards and elegant gourmet restaurant was constructed from white volcanic Arequipena stone. Located just around the corner from the magnificent 16th-century Santa Catalina Convent and blocks away from the central plaza, the hotel boasts a superb location.

The Colca Lodge is nestled between ancestral farming terraces and the Colca River. Its attractive rustic style provides total comfort where you will see the enigmatic Andean way of life. Natural hot springs are adjacent to the property and allow the visitor to soak under the expansive skies and striking views of the canyon. The hotel does not have televisions or other modern distractions and the service for each guest is tailored to their individual needs. The property utilizes solar power to keep in harmony with its surroundings and each room has a private terrace to take in the scenery.
