Horseback Riding

Thanks to its unusual lateral gait, the Peruvian Paso horse has a reputation apart for being eccentric dancer, but also for being a particularly comfortable steed, and thus the perfect means of transport across the Ica desert. The breed is over 400 years old and is a direct descendant of the horses brought over to South America by the Spanish conquistadors.

From the top of the saddle, you’ll be treated to incredible views of this fascinating fossil-strewn desert. Once the seabed of a shallow ocean, this desert is now among the driest places on the planet. Galloping is not an option on this slippery sand, but you are guaranteed a smooth ride on these even-tempered horses to ensure a memorable experience during your personalized Peru tour.

If you want to include a horseback tour of the desert sands of the Ica/Huacachina region as part of your Peru family travel itinerary, just let us know and we’ll arrange it. Contact us today and get your free Peru trip quote.  At Kuoda Travel, all trips are personally and custom designed for you by one of our professional travel experts.
