We are still dreaming about our magical stay at Belmond Casitas 🌿✨
Tucked into the hillside above the Colca River, this place is pure Andean paradise — think thatched-roof cottages with jaw-dropping mountain views, outdoor showers, and private hot tubs. Total luxury meets nature.
The staff? Incredibly kind and thoughtful — every little detail was perfect, from the beautifully presented meals to the surprise touches around the property… loved our welcome note and written me on a leaf, and of course, the hot water bottle in bed each night.
We fell in love with the llamas and alpacas (especially feeding the babies 🦙💛), the vibrant flowers, and the constant birdsong.
But the most unforgettable moment? A soul-stirring gratitude ceremony after our spa day, rooted in Inca tradition. We learned about the chakana and the powerful symbolism of snakes 🐍 (new beginnings), pumas 🐆 (life), and condors 🦅 (spiritual messengers).
We offered coca leaves to the fire, shared what we’re grateful for, and connected with something truly sacred.
Three nights wasn’t nearly enough — but we’re taking the peace with us. Thank you to all who made this a very special stay. 🌺🕊️
