Day 1:

We will pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 7:00 a.m. and travel to a horse ranch in the Sacred Valley (approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes). Upon arrival, you will meet the horse handler and the Peruvian Paso horses, recognized as part of Peru’s cultural heritage.

We will begin the ride by crossing the Tarabamba bridge and following a scenic trail along the Vilcanota River, surrounded by eucalyptus, tara, and willow trees. We will visit the community of Pichingoto, where traditional adobe houses and ancient cave dwellings can still be seen.
