Our signature and most popular ride start from our riding operation in the heart of the Sacred Valley at about 8,500 feet (2,800m). The Sacred Valley Ride is more than just an unforgettable riding experience in the Andes. It combines culture, history and adventure with a taste of fine Peruvian cuisine and first-class hotels. This is a magical trip with plenty of comfort. 

The ride follows a route across the Urubamba River, up through mountain pasture where smiling Quechua children herd sheep and cattle, to highland terraces and small mountain villages, where the horses’ hooves echo on ancient cobblestone roads. Oxen pull wooden ploughs through the fields, travel is mainly by foot, and the native people speak Quechua, the language of the Incas.

The scenery of Andean Peru is beyond description; the mountains around rise to incredible heights. As you experience horseback riding in Peru, you will love our beautiful and intelligent horses. They allow you to cover the miles effortlessly without needing a rising trot or a two-point canter.

The trip includes visiting the legendary Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and a 2-night stay (mid-trip) in the ancient Inca capital of Cusco. Set departure dates run from April through October.​
