About Aranwa Pueblito Encantado del Colca

A secluded resort with a village vibe and the beauty of the Colca Valley on its doorstep
As the name suggests, this place is exactly like a little enchanted village. Located near the town of Coporaque and a 3-hour drive from Arequipa, the resort is tucked away along a bend of the Colca river with the most hypnotic of natural landscapes and skies. Surrounded by charming gardens and acres of local fauna, the superb amenities include a full-service spa and outdoor swimming pool with impressive views of the terraced mountains across the river. And with authentic Peruvian hospitality and culture combined with tasty local food, this is a pretty special get-away-from-it-all experience.

Property details

The property

The resort’s charm starts right at the entrance as you’re welcomed by a historic water mill. The impeccable gardens are everywhere you look and are home to an outdoor pool and other water features, while the spa includes an indoor pool plus a ton of other perks too. The main building is a melee of contemporary Andean décor. The restaurant offers novo-Andean cuisine and wood-fired pizzas, while the bar is best known for its Pisco sours.

The rooms

The resort has 41 spacious rooms, all perfectly modern with simple décor and astonishing views of the valley and mountains. Even the smaller deluxe rooms include King-sized beds, minibars, a seating area and huge bathrooms with bathtub. Upgrade to a duplex suite or independent 2-floor chalets and add a separate living area and kitchenette with dining room, an ecological fireplace, and even a hydromassage tub to the list! Regardless of which option you go for, you’re in for absolute relaxation.

Activities

Although the resort is perfect for some down time and relaxation, the beautiful surroundings lend themselves to hiking and biking adventures. A 5-minute walk will take you to the thermal baths, right outside of hotel, while a pampering spa treatment is always good for the soul. Other activities at the hotel include cooking and Pisco sour lessons, trout fishing, and feeding the alpacas - and roaming the beautiful gardens is a great activity in itself. At night, don’t miss out on stargazing from your private terrace. There are usually a couple of shooting stars in sight.

Insiders Tip

If travelling with kids (they would love it here!) book ahead and secure one of the six independent chalets - they’re perfect for families.
Something to think about

Something to think about

The road leading to the hotel is quite twisty and bumpy, and the secluded location means the nearest town is a 20-minute drive away. Don’t expect to walk out in search of nearby shops or restaurants.
