The beginning
Eduard van Brunschot (better known as Eddy) is a Dutch textile engineer, horseman, and the founder of the Perol Chico Ranch in Peru.
Eddy began his career designing and producing fashion apparel for major European retail chains and private labels, outsourcing production to trusted manufacturers in Europe.
However, as the fast fashion industry boomed, with the mass production of cheap clothes made in China, Eddy boldly decided to follow his heart and pursue a childhood dream that had always lingered within him. In 1996, he made the life-changing move to Peru, where he turned his dream into reality by founding the Perol Chico Ranch and channelled his passion for horses and the rugged beauty of the Andes into creating extraordinary horseback riding expeditions.
Our Company
Since its inception, our company has been committed to sustainably and conscientiously managing its horseback riding business, guided by humanist principles and values. Tourism in Peru plays a vital role in the country's economy and in expanding human flourishing and dignity within local communities. A significant portion of the company’s revenues is spent, directly or indirectly, in the local economy. From this perspective, booking a riding holiday with Perol Chico contributes to human development and welfare in Peru, impacting both the local community and the broader region.

Upcoming changes to our Sacred Valley ranch
We’d like to share an important update about our Sacred Valley ranch. Starting in 2025, the property will undergo a full transformation as we prepare for the future.
The upcoming Chinchero International Airport — anticipated to open in late 2026 or 2027 - will bring significant changes to the region and tourism landscape. In response, we’ll be remodelling the ranch to focus on exclusive accommodations, and eventually relocating our riding operation once the airport opens.
During the construction phase, all rides will temporarily start and end at a nearby location within the Sacred Valley. While the setting may change, the quality of our horseback riding experience remains as exceptional as ever.
