Belmond has enhanced its portfolio in Peru with the acquisition of Belmond Las Casitas in Colca Canyon and the launch of Belmond Andean Explorer, which is the first luxury sleeper train in South America. The development marks progress on the company’s 2020 strategic growth plan and cements its position as leaders of luxury travel experiences in Peru.
Belmond Las Casitas is a 20-room property located in the Arequipa region of Southern Peru set amongst the beautiful Andes. Blending effortlessly with the natural environment, the hotel fully matches with Belmond’s brand personality of authentic escapes that relate to nature, culture and wellbeing.
Located amongst lush gardens, each individual casita features a private terrace with a heated plunge pool and views of the canyon. Built around the energy of the canyon rock, the Samay Spa offers treatments using natural ingredients from the hotel’s kitchen garden and views of the surrounding canyon, inspiring deep relaxation.
Belmond Andean Explorer recently departed on its inaugural journey from Cusco to Arequipa on a two-night journey. The elegant carriages took guests through some of the most breathtaking
scenery in the world; offering vast, uninterrupted views of snow-capped mountains, enormous skies, majestic lakes and herds of alpacas, llamas.
The luxury train’s interior designs reflect Peruvian culture, mixing vibrant colours with natural tones and large picture windows offering the perfect vantage point of the ever-changing scenery. The train also has an observation car with an outdoor terrace that is a social hub of the train.
Stepping off the train, experiences include a private tour of the floating islands on Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable water in the world and lunch on a private beach with views across to the glacial peaks of La Paz, Bolivia.
