Not far from the ‘beast’ of Lima’s southern suburbs lies the ‘beauty’ of El Molino, a lovingly tended hotel complex set on the banks of the Río Cañete on the cusp of Lunahuaná. The hotel offers boutique-style rooms encased in glassy river-facing units.
There are two pools, table football and a fine restaurant in the beautifully landscaped grounds where tranquility reigns, bar the odd triumphant whoop of a passing rafter.
