Local Flavor

Welcome to a part of Peru not many American travelers know about. Colca Canyon is twice as deep as our Grand Canyon, and life within continues much as it has since the Spanish colonized it centuries ago. Meet the Collagua and Cabana peoples for a taste of untouched Peru.

Colca Canyon Extension.

Las Casitas: Colca Canyon

This is a six-day sample extension. Remember that R. Crusoe can create a Colca Canyon journey of any length to meet your exact specifications.

We suggest an adventure in South America.You probably didn't know that the world's second-deepest canyon is found in Peru. Colca Canyon is twice as deep as our very own Grand Canyon, and the culture within remains much as it did centuries ago. Authentic, every step of the way.

The scenery? Gorgeous. The air? Sweet. And the quiet around here is notable. You've discovered a part of South America that most travelers know nothing about. (Keep it under your hat.) 

Las Casitas del Colca. Unexpected luxury in a remote corner of Peru.We put you up at Las Casitas del Colca, a top, five-star-plus Orient-Express property that itself is reason enough to head to this part of the world. This luxury resort boasts 20 individual casitas, each with its own terrace and private heated plunge pool. Expewrience relaxing and interesting activities and excursions around the region (at no charge). Go condor-watching (you won't believe the size of these magnificent birds). Horseback ride through the wilderness. Hike. On a private guided tour, pay a visit to some of the 14 villages nearby. Take a cooking lesson to learn the secrets of authentic local cooking. Bike ride. Spend time with local artisans. 

Curl up with your novel. Break out your sketch pad. Commune with Mother Earth. Your choice.

Isn't that splendid? 

Be sure to read about our main guided tour to Peru, Perusing Peru. Sunrise & Sunset Over Machu Picchu Included. The Colca Canyon extension couples perfectly with it.
