While visiting Peru, I knew I had to experience a Peruvian Paso Ranch since my father raised show Peruvians when I was growing up in Texas. I’ve always loved their smooth ride and unique gait, and Gabriel’s ranch did not disappoint.
From the moment I arrived, it was clear that Gabriel genuinely cares for his horses—not just as a business, but with real dedication. Unlike many tourist operations where horses are just saddled up waiting for the next rider, his horses are well cared for, well-trained, and incredibly well-behaved. He takes the time to nurture their natural spirit while maintaining the elegance and discipline of purebred Peruvian Pasos.
The ride itself was fantastic, but what made it even more special was the cultural and historical insight Gabriel shared along the way. I learned so much about the Incas and the surrounding area, making the experience both fun and educational. And with 100 acres of stunning landscapes, his ranch is a breathtaking place to explore on horseback.
Hands down, Gabriel’s ranch was my favorite part of Cusco. Being back in the saddle again on such incredible horses was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area—especially fellow horse lovers!
