Best way to ride, sightsee, socialize and relax - A perfect way to combine sightseeing, learn Inca cultural history, have fun exercise and make new friends. Gabriel’s horse ranch is a 4-generation horse loving family that prioritizes safety so that we guests (95% inexperienced) could have a relaxing fun problem-free experience. A fellow guest Renee who was the only experienced rider in our 10-rider group said other places seemed to be insufficiently careful. Gabriel himself is extraordinarily warm, friendly, calm, quietly commanding, knowledgeable about horses and Inca culture and history, and fully focused on ensuring his riders have as good an experience as possible. As the senior citizens our mostly 30s group, we rode in line at the back, where Julio, Gabriel’s lieutenant, quietly gave us helpful riding hints and kept us riders in line and together. Our itinerary was ride, walk, sightsee the Temple of the Moon, walk through caves, ride, break for Cusco views and snack, ride back. It was a perfect combination of improving horsemanship, learning history, exercising with presence, enjoying Andean air and scenery —- all while doing a different type of tourist activity. From our hotel pick up to first mount to horsemanship safety instructions to drop off at our hotel pick—- during this 4 hours — we felt superbly well cared for. We most highly recommend Gabriel’s horse riding

Fantastic! - My partner and I had a really great time. Not only were the horses extremely well trained so it was a great experience for beginners, but Gabriel also took the time to share with us the history of the site that we visited. Spectacular views, and they even gave us a little snack to enjoy at the top of the mountain. They clearly love their horses very much and they are very well cared for. I would take this tour again if I had more time in Cusco.
