Horse riding holidays and equestrian adventures in Peru
The Perol Chico Ranch offers luxury horse riding holidays and equestrian tours in Peru. Founded in 1996 by Dutch-Peruvian Eduard van Brunschot, the well-established Ranch is home to some of the finest purebred Peruvian Paso horses, well-trained and conditioned for long-distance rides.
Nestled against the majestic slopes and beneath the glaciers and snow peaks of the Urubamba Mountain range, the Perol Chico Ranch lies in the heart of the mythical Sacred Valley of the Incas, halfway between Cusco and Machu Picchu. This part of the Peruvian Andes offers some of the most scenic landscapes, breathtaking vistas and endless miles of beautiful riding trails.
Perol Chico's multi-day rides are suitable for the more experienced rider. During the rides, guests are treated to delicious regional cuisine while accommodation is offered at delightful hotels selected for their local character, colonial architecture, comfort and picturesque, convenient location.
Perol Chico maintains the highest standards of professionalism in equine care, guiding, accommodation, protecting the environment and caring for guests with unrivalled personal attention to detail.
We invite you to discover the magic of the Peruvian Paso horse and the grandeur of its native land in an unforgettable equestrian journey for the privileged few.
We are proud to announce the opening of our second riding operation since January 2024, expanding Perol Chico's riding offers with unique and exclusive equestrian coastal journeys (year-round) and other riding activities in Arequipa.
