Day Rides
The Sacred Valley of the Incas envelops a fertile agricultural and cultural landscape, punctuated by small villages of Quechua-speaking communities and dotted with the surviving remains of great Inca family estates. The Valle Sagrado de Los Incas, or the Sacred Valley of the Incas, was appreciated by the Inca for its special geographical and climatic qualities. It is the perfect setting to enjoy a wonderful ride on one of the well-trained and beautiful horses from the Perol Chico riding stables.

Perol Chico offers a fabulous day on horseback through the Sacred Valley. The day starts at the ranch with an introduction of the Peruvian horse, its special inherited and exquisite four-beat lateral gait and our traditional tack.
Prior to all our rides we take our time to give our guest riding instructions, evaluate riding abilities and explain the basics of our riding style.
The ride starts at 9.30 am at the ranch. The introduction and riding instructions, as well as well as matching riders with the right mount, will take about 1,5 to 2 hour, depending on the size of the group and riding abilities. When we are all set and done we will ride for about 1,5 hour. Around mid day we arrive at a lush valley called Pumahuanca. We'll be visiting a beautiful trout farm where Maria and our staff will be waiting for us to surprise us with a delicious lunch in the country side with fresh trout, salads and of course with some refreshing drinks. After lunch another 1 hour (approx.) in the saddle, arriving back at the ranch around 3:00 pm to celebrate the day with a delicious Pisco Sour.
