Belmond Las Casitas
Elegantly Rustic & Cosy Private Cottages
Belmond Las Casitas is an exquisite luxury accommodation which provides guests with their own private ‘casita’. The location is perfect, set in the wonderfully idyllic Colca Valley. Each casita has heated floors, a private terrace, and heated plunge pool from which you can enjoy the sunset. The bathrooms have marble floors, indoor and outdoor showers and a glass rooftop over the bathtub to gaze at the stars at night. The theme of each casita is being a part of nature and truly relaxing.
One of the most unique elements of this accommodation is its huge vegetable gardens, farm, and greenhouses where guests have the option to pick each ingredient for their meal that evening. Otherwise, the restaurant serves gourmet cuisine throughout the day.

Places to combine Belmond Las Casitas with
Sacred Valley
Set among beautiful gardens in the magnificent location of the Sacred Valley, Sol y Luna is a charming and comfortable hotel with wonderfully relaxing amenities. Your bungalow, or ‘casita’, is designed with Andean touches and stylish interiors and boasts gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. Spend your days exploring the Sacred Valley of the Incas where you can partake in exciting activities such as horse riding, bird watching and para-gliding.
Back at Sol y Luna the indulgent spa, sauna and pool is a peaceful place for you to unwind, while the dining consists of a number of Relais & Chateaux member restaurants: Killa Wasi, where Peruvian and European cuisine is served and Wayra, a separate restaurant set in the hotel’s Wayra ranch where Andean cuisine pays homage to the wealth of natural ingredients cultivated in the Sacred Valley since the time of the Incas. There is also a bar, Chicha Wasi, where you can enjoy authentic pisco sours.
The hotel is also recognised for its community initiatives, particularly in education. After 10 years of working with different schools and programs, Sol y Luna opened the Sol y Luna Intercultural School, providing educational services to a number of local students. The hotel recently started another initiative, Sol y Luna Home, which provides a safe home for children without a family or who are victims of violence.
Luxury train journeys in Peru
Belmond’s Andean Explorer travels between Cusco, Lake Titicaca and Arequipa along one of the world’s highest train routes in unmatched style and comfort.
En-suite cabins accommodate up to 48 passengers, with double, twin and bunk bed configurations. Interiors are inspired by Peru’s traditional hand-woven fabrics and the soft tones of alpaca wool.
The lounge car features a baby grand piano and is the perfect place for guests to come together and enjoy a drink from the bar. There are two dining cars serving contemporary cuisine using seasonal, local produce from the Peruvian Andes, and masterminded by the team at the Belmond Hotel Monasterio in Cusco. There is also an observation car from which to enjoy the breathtaking scenery while sipping on a Pisco sour.
