The organizer speaks: English
A real Andean descendent who comes from a Cusco family who truly love horses and I am married with Karina from the Netherlands. I grew up with horses and it's my passion to work with them. I am also an official tour guide and I like to work with turists from all countries, showing them around in my country Peru and explaining them everything about the history. My riding activities in the Sacred Valley were soon discovered, and our hacienda began to appear in guidebooks and on the lists of highly recommended equestrian tour operators. The riding expeditions high in the Andes are exceptional with my team.

Route details

Day 1
Ride to Misminay

09:00 Our team is waiting for you at our hacienda in Paucarbamba to provide you with important information about recommendations and restrictions for the ride. Once we are on our assigned horses, we head towards the Paucarbamba suspension bridge, which we cross before entering a forest of lush eucalyptus trees. Here, we have the opportunity to see one of the largest Inka cemeteries in the Sacred Valley, located on the valley floor.

After passing through the urban area of Yanahuara, we reach the Tarabamba suspension bridge, where we cross and register our entrance to the Salinas de Maras.
