Horseback riding vacations & equestrian tours in Peru

The Perol Chico Ranch, founded in 1996 by Dutch-Peruvian Eduard van Brunschot, is home to some of the finest purebred Peruvian Paso horses, well-trained and conditioned for long-distance rides. The ranch is nestled against the majestic slopes and beneath the glaciers and snow peaks of the Urubamba Mountain range, in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, halfway between Cusco and Machu Picchu.
Eduard's well-established riding operation maintains the highest standards of professionalism in equine care, guiding, accommodation, protecting the environment and caring for guests with unrivalled personal attention to detail.​
