Choose Gabriel’s ranch! - This was amazing. Gabriel’s ranch has been in his family for over 100 years. The many horses are cared for and work only every other day. Gabriel himself was a joy- thoughtful, kind, funny, and an excellent guide. He taught us history about the temples and caves we explored and told us about his horses and family. He was considerate and allowed participants to switch horses to be more comfortable, and did an excellent job keeping us safe in a calm way. The horses were wonderful too and very fun to ride. This was one of my favorite things I did in Cusco. Choose Gabriel’s ranch!

Amazing experience! - Very exiting, enjoyable and informative tour for first timers like us. Gabriel (owner of the Gabriel's ranch) and his assistant (100% Inca descendand) were amazing; horses were very well trained and behaved. Some of the best views on top of Cusco.

Wonderful experience - Grimaldo and Juan took me on a horse ride to the Temple of the Moon and a Pachamama Temple. It was a wonderful way to explore the places and the countryside! Both Grimaldo and Juan took wonderful care of me on the horse and walking me through the sites. I highly recommend the ranch and the experience!

Wonderful experience! Highly recommended! Away from busy Cuzco. Pickup from hotel provided made it easy & convenient. ā­ļø - Would highly recommend for families or solo travelers. Gabriel and his team are very professional and match their horses with the rider’s experience. When a little rain fell-Gabriel provided rain ponchos. Horses are well taken of. Transportation from your hotel is provided which is an added benefit. All around positive experience.
