Horse riding holidays & equestrian tours in Peru

The Perol Chico Ranch offers luxury horse riding holidays and private equestrian tours and activities in Peru. Founded in 1996 by Dutch-Peruvian Eduard van Brunschot, the well-established Ranch is home to some of the finest Peruvian Paso horses, well-trained and conditioned for long-distance rides.
The Ranch is nestled against a majestic mountain backdrop in the heart of the mythical Sacred Valley of the Incas, between Cusco and Machu Picchu. This beautiful part of the Peruvian Andes offers some of the most spectacular scenery and vistas, and endless miles of riding trails on ancient Inca roads, once part of the impressive Inca road network.
