About this experience
Today you will enjoy one of the most delightful activities the Sacred Valley has to offer. You will ride on the paths of the valley after receiving instructions on horse riding techniques about Peruvian Paso horses. Peruvian Paso horses descend from the Spanish horses introduced during the Spanish conquest and they developed a very particular gait due to their isolation in the mountains for 400 years. They are considered one of the most comfortable breeds to ride. You will visit the local Pumahuanca and Palcaraquicommunities on horseback, and then you will return to your hotel.
