Riding Level
Although you do not need to be an expert rider, we recommend some previous riding experience and confidence around horses. We give instruction and attention to the less experienced as we travel. Our skilled Quechua speaking wranglers give careful attention to each rider as needed and care for our mounts while we lunch or hike through ruins.

Pace
We ride for 3 days and between 4-6 hours per day. There are some opportunities to canter where the terrain allows.

Horses
We raise and train horses at our ranch above Cusco. These well cared for horses (a Peruvian Paso/Spanish Barb mix) are no-nonsense, experienced, sure-footed, mountain trail horses affording a secure, comfortable ride on steep pathways. 

Equipment
We provide new, comfortable South American style saddles and large capacity saddle bags for day items.
A support vehicle for transportation of personal overnight items and for those not riding accompanies the daily activities.

Families and Kids
Our route, logistical flexibility and nature of the trip offer an excellent program for kids to enjoy. Modified itineraries that permit riding and/or a day or two traveling along with our support vehicle can easily be arranged.
Participants may ride all, hike portions of the route or choose to travel in our vehicle, joining the riders at Lunch and for the visit of major Inca sites.
