Surrounded by lush greenery, each cottage comes with a private terrace featuring a shallow warm-water pool, offering breathtaking views of the canyon. The hotel’s spa, The Samay Spa, is built around the thermal energy of the canyon rock formations and offers treatments using natural herbs grown in the hotel’s kitchen garden, all set against the stunning backdrop of the canyon for a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. Belmond Las Casitas also offers one of the world’s most unique guest experiences: witnessing the majestic flight of Andean condors in their natural habitat.
