Horseback Riding in
the high plains of the Andes 3D/2N
Description
On horseback we survey the rugged tablelands
of southern Peru. In this charming hacienda we
acquaint ourselves with the local people and
customs. We have the opportunity to explore the
caverns, springs, canyons, and misty mountains
of the headwaters of the Apurimac River, which
runs north past Cusco to become the longest and
most voluminous river in the world. Interlaced
with the headwaters of the Apurimac River are
many high lakes and meandering streams, divulged
by deep caverns at the canyon heads. The amazing
scenery, natural landscaping, and quaint
environment make this horseback riding adventure
absolutely astounding. Note: You have the option
of ending this adventure in Arequipa or in Cusco.
This trip offers a pleasant means of travel from
Cusco to Arequipa.

traditional dancing show.
