Belmond Las Casitas Earns Peru's Only Three MICHELIN Keys in the Colca Canyon

Belmond Las Casitas was the only hotel in Peru to score the coveted Three MICHELIN Keys, the guide's highest possible hotel designation, when the Peru rankings were released. It's a genuinely rare distinction, and one that sets the 20-casita resort apart from every other property in the country, including several other well-regarded Belmond addresses in Cusco and the Sacred Valley.

Set in the Colca Canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world and roughly twice the depth of the Grand Canyon, the resort's private casitas each come with their own plunge pool and terrace, positioned near the Cruz del Cóndor lookout where Andean condors ride the canyon's thermal air currents. Samay Spa rounds out the wellness offering, described as next-level rejuvenation set within the Colca Valley's dramatic landscape.

Belmond and Assouline recently published a new book on the destination, with journalist Catherine Contreras guiding readers through what the publishers call one of the planet's most captivating destinations. Belmond has managed the property continuously through the current decade, and the Three MICHELIN Key rating confirms that consistency has translated into genuinely world-class recognition for a lodge in one of Peru's more remote regions.
