On this trip you will visit Mt. Kilimanjaro, Tarangire NP and Lake Manyara National Park as well as the Serengeti and the world famous Ngorongoro Crater. Travelling through breath-taking landscapes on adventurous tracks you will experience nature and wildlife at its best
This trek is a 8 days trip starting from Cachora and ending in Machu Picchu. The route takes us through Choquequirao and several remote villages. We decided to do this combo trip because we wanted to see both Choquequirao and Machu Picchu. Choquequirao sits in the saddle of a high Andean ridge, 3000m./10,000 ft. above sea level and 1,500m./5,000 ft. above the roaring waters of the Apurimac River . Ringed by spectacular snow-capped peaks and flanked by plunging, thickly forested slopes, the city is an inspiring example of an elite Inca ceremonial center, dedicated to the worship of the mountain gods, the river and the elements of nature. Choquequirao has been called " Machu Picchu 's sacred sister", because of the striking similarities of design and ceremonial architecture to its famous counterpart above the Urubamba Gorge. Yet it remains an enigmatic place whose history is a matter of speculation. One theory of its origins holds that it was a royal estate built for the emperor Topa Inca, perhaps in an attempt to rival his father Pachacuti's spectacular domain at Machu Picchu.
This program gives us the opportunity to discover two amazing provinces in Argentina: Salta and Jujuy. We visit places with pre-Columbine history where the Spanish conquerors used to reign.
We ride on Peruvian Paso horses, bred and trained by Ampascachi; they are versatile horses with very smooth gaits which makes this trail a unique experience.
You first meet our horses in Chicoana, Salta, and with the guidance of our experienced trail guides, you choose the horse which best fits your riding experience. It will be your companion throughout your horse riding holidays in northern Argentina. We ride along the Quebrada de Humahuaca where the beauty of the exceptional landscapes amazes us.
