Besides Machu Picchu, this was a highlight of my Peru trip. Riding horseback on the Andes mountains and having Gabriel to share his knowledge at the stops along the ride was pure joy. I highly recommend anyone with time while in Cusco to join Gabriel at his family farm for a ride on one of his “babies”

Amazing experience, there is such care taken for the horses and we all loved it

Gabriel’s ranch borders on the national park and we were able to ride to the Inca Moon Temple where he explained the significance. Then back across his private ranch that has been in the family for 3 generations. Horses are well trained and Peruvian Paso so trotting was a pleasure. Fifteen minutes from town was a bonus!

Don't bother to see Machu Picchu, just go horseback riding with Gabriel, It's a lot of fun.
