About Us
Like many horse lovers and, why not, dreamers, we like to pretend to be half man and half horse in full communion with nature, galloping free.
Or, saying it like this, what we like to think most, is that the noble equine uses our reasoning to project his agility and strength in a new form.
In other words, there is a mental rapport between rider and horse that can be understood as a kind of psychological syncretism.
If this beautiful and powerful quadruped did not feel well, don’t you think we'd be in trouble?!
Our horses, those of the South American Andes, are for us a passion that motivates much of our lives.
At the same time, we are proud to encourage the proper relationship between man and horse.
We are established in the imperial capital of the Inca culture, once an important colonial city, today metropolis of tourist activity: Cusco.
We have a complete infrastructure for equestrian activities enabling us to offer horse lovers from around the world the opportunity to enjoy the majesty of the Andes and the cultural richness of the Inca legacy, from the back of this unique and majestic animal.
