Rainbow mountain & Red valley day tour

The girl who assisted me with the booking, Karina, was very kind and helpful despite me having made a last-minute booking. The tour guide Wayra who followed us was truly professional, helpful with our requests, and really nice! The experience was completely positive with no unexpected issues; I recommend booking with them.

The owner of this ranch...

The owner of this ranch and their employees are patient and really nice. We had 5 riders that morning, with experience ranging from none to ridden a horse a few times. They assigned horses by skill and gave everyone some basic riding knowledge. We were offered the opportunity to trot (which we took up). The horses are well trained and are not spooked easily. For those that are concerned about horses welfare, they rotate the horses so that they only take riders once in the day, then have the next day off. This is a family owned ranch that has been in the area 100 years. They are knowledgeable on the area. Highly recommend and I will ride again!

We loved it!

A magnificent ride that is suitable for everyone. Arnold was very kind and very interesting. He has a real connection with his horses and he helps us understand how to connect with them. The horses are really well treated. An excursion not to be missed if you are in Cusco!

Machu Must!

A MUST DO. Our family of 5 had an amazing experience on this two day excursion. Our guide Luis A. made us feel like his family, he made sure we knew what to expect and what to focus on. He made this experience unforgettable! As a mom of 3 it was so nice to have someone planning every detail for a change. He and his driver Deosinides (not sure that is spelled correctly) were a perfect team.

Perfect way to acclimate to the altitude

This was hands down the best tour we took while in Cusco. Gabriel is an absolute gem. If you have the opportunity to learn from him about the local culture, the Inca people, and life in the region, you'll leave both happier and more knowledgeable. He guided us on a wonderful ride through the mountains and hills, sharing fascinating information while allowing plenty of time to take in the breathtaking scenery. The horses were well cared for, gentle, and easy to ride, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. This tour was the perfect way to acclimate to the altitude while enjoying some of the most beautiful views around Cusco. We only wish we had booked another tour with Gabriel during our trip. I cannot recommend this horseback riding tour highly enough.
