First time rider successfully managed! Amazing Experience! Thank you Gabriel! - It was an amazing experience! It’s my first time riding horses. I was kinda worried when arriving. However, Gabriel and his helper helped me a lot. They led the horse “Bonito”, who is super sweet and friendly, to me, taught me how to control a horse and helped taking videos and pictures. When horses were scared by a motor cycle, they gave immediate response and instructions. Bonito is kinda emulative when on an open grass area and wanted to catch up with the horse in front of him, but Gabriel went down his horse and helped leading Bonito so he wouldn’t jump and would behave better. It was on an uphill path and I know it was super difficult to catch breath when walking this much on a plateau. Thank you so much Gabriel! Muchos gracias ^-^ We also had a small snack lunch on a mountain, it’s great! It was such a great experience, I now know how to ride a horse (hopefully). If I ever had a chance to come to Cusco again, I will definitely try again!

The best and only option for riding in Cusco - Absolutely AMAZING experience at Gabriel’s ranch, I couldn’t recommend it more. 100% commitment to both animal welfare and customer experience, the horses are very well taken care of and Gabriel proved to be a phenomenal local guide. Worth noting many alternative tour providers keep their horses saddled and tethered all day in the sun (!) so I highly recommend going with Gabriel’s ranch to guarantee you support the most ethical local business

Absolutely loved it - Had the absolute best time - Gabriel takes great care of the horses and is such a personable guide. We learned lots of history and had the most beautiful trek. One of the highlights of my time in Peru!

A beautiful time in Cusco - I had an amazing experience with Gabriel from GABRIEL’S RANCH. The horses were well loved and part of the family. Gabriel was very knowledgeable and showed me a very special view of Cusco. If you are blessed enough to find yourself in Cusco and have a few hours to spare, I highly recommend taking this tour. You won’t regret it!

Best day in Peru so far! - One of the best and most authentic experiences I have had in Peru, such a wonderful time! Gabriel's English is very good, and he seems very knowledgeable about the Incas and the old temple ruins around Cusco. I originally went just for the horses, but climbing into the caves associated with the temples was a whole adventure trip on top of the riding. Gabriel and all his team are lovely people, and most importantly very gentle with the horses. The family has had this ranch for almost a hundred years, they breed their own horses and put new shoes on them. I have very little experience riding horses, and others in the group had none at all, but everyone still had a great time! And they also have horses suitable for more seasoned riders and offer lessons. Big recommendation, I wish I had time to stay in Cusco and take some lessons with them.

A highlight from our Peru trip! - We had a free day in Cusco and decided to ride horses the night before. When we arrived at the ranch we had booked the wrong ranch. We were supposed to go on a cheaper ride with a different ranch. We decided to make the best of it and go. We are so glad we spent the extra $ . This was a highlight of our peru trip. It was an incredible experience. This is a family run ranch and Gabriel’s family has owned the ranch for generations. The horses were Peruvian Paso breed and they Gabriel the owner takes pride and treats them with love. It was apparent that Gabriel’s passionate nature for his love of the Ranch. This is a must do in Cusco.

A wonderful ride in nature - It was amazing! I enjoyed the ride so much. I had no previous riding experience but felt comfortable. Gabriel is knowledgeable and great to connect with. Overall, a wonderful opportunity to be in nature and learn more about Inca history.

Must do with Kids or Teens - Gabriel was a fantastic tour guide and shared so much information about the Incan culture and traditions with us. His horses are well cared for and well trained. They were great with my kids and even walked the entire way with my 11 year old to make sure she was safe. My teenage son said this was his favorite part of our week long stay in Peru. This is a definite must do with kids while in Cusco!

So much fun and beautiful views of Cusco - Gabriel was so knowledgeable and a great guide! The snack bag was such a nice touch. He selected horses according to riding experience and they were the best behaved. I will 100% do this again next time when I come back.
