Horseback Riding thru the Mountains of Cusco

Third and final visit, so good that I am returning for more :)

This was my third, final visit to the ranch and Sacsayhuaman just before flying back to the UK in August 2025. I requested the same Peruvian Paso horse for my farewell ride as I had before (an incredibly well-natured horse), and the family was happy to oblige. When it looked like I was the only person with a booking for the day, I received a message offering a solo ride for an extra cost or cancellation. I can't remember how much that was, but it was very reasonable. In the end, an additional rider was booked for the day. We were both reasonably good riders, so we could go fast. I had already seen the Temple of the Moon, so our guide and the muleteer agreed to take us to a different site. I appreciated the flexibility and opportunity to say goodbye to the national park, the family and the horses. At the time, I did not think I would be returning to Peru; it was not planned, nor was I planning to return to riding horses. It is now nine months since I took the third and final ride with the family. Due to the wonderful experiences I had at this ranch, I returned to horse riding and feel comfortable riding a variety of horses, including a 17-hand sports horse. In addition, I am flying back to Cusco in September, with 11 days assigned for horse riding, of which 6 will be spent back at the family ranch exploring their full-day rides :) :)
