Gabriel C. is the provider of this trip
The provider speaks: English
Hello! I am an official tour guide and lover of Andean culture. 23 years ago I began to explore the magical world of horseback riding in Cusco. Since my childhood, horses have been my source of peace.
I'll tell you a little secret, when my equine companions and I venture into the woods, all it takes is one whistle to make them all come to me. It is a unique connection that we have developed over the years.
I don't want to brag, but the experience I offer on my horseback riding is so beautiful that, most of the time, people come recommended by friends who have already experienced this adventure. They tell them: «If you visit Cusco you can't miss a horseback ride with Gabriel. You won't regret it!
I am proud of this because I constantly strive to improve and guarantee a unique and, above all, safe experience for everyone who trusts me.
