HORSEBACK RIDING TOUR IN THE SACRED VALLEY - CUSCO Full Day Tour

April 11th, 2007
Saul, thank you, I truly loved Peru, it is a lovely country with equally lovely people.
Our horseback riding tour in the sacred valley was excellent. It truly was one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. The horses were great and well cared for; the tack was appropriate for the trip. Our tour crew was excellent, very friendly and helpful. The actual trek was beautiful and fun. We ended with a very nice lunch and were said to have to say goodbye to everyone. I would certainly recommend the trip to anyone who loves riding and has some experience. It could be a little scary for a first-time rider, buy anyone with a little experience would love the trip!
It is always tough to select a riding tour, and I've done many, when you don't know how the horses are treated, etc, but your tour was perfect. I may come back in November if all goes well. I will definitely be sure to make recommendations. Thanks, and I guarantee when we come back, we will look at doing another ride, perhaps an overnight!

Where the salty water is channelled through an impressive irrigation system and left to evaporate in the sun.

DAY 2: TIOBAMBA - CHEKOQ - MORAY - CUSCO

After breakfast departure from the church of Tiobamba, will continuing to visit the ruins of Chekoq (cold storage depots). Cooling of the products was achieved by using a genius system of underground air-circulation. Ride to Lake Huaypo, there will have lunch with spectacular scenery of snow-capped mountains, wildflowers and beautiful mountain lakes. Ride to Moray terraces, this area was served as an experimental agricultural station for the development of different crop strains, using the climates of different ecological zones. There are no great ruins in Moray to impress visitors. Moray is more for the contemplative traveller with an affinity for such phenomena as the Nasca Lines. From Moray we come back down to the Valley floor, after 6 hours arrive to the ranch.
At 4PM transfer back to Cusco.
