Horse riding enthusiasts can now follow in the footsteps of Spanish Conquistadors in Machu Picchu riding high in the mountains of Peru.
Sarah Caplan, who owns Equestrian Escapes which specialises in riding holidays throughout the UK and abroad, recently returned from a dream trip to the spectacular former Inca settlement near Cusco, Peru.
During her 10-day holiday she explored beauty spots in the Sacred Valley and enjoyed the luxury of passing backpackers on horseback on the lung busting Andes trail.
She said: 'I have always wanted to visit Machu Picchu and the chance to visit the heart of the Inca Empire on horseback, who could have written me a better script?'
'We journeyed to the ranch where the horses live close to the small town of Moyapata, after visiting the cosmopolitan city of Lima and the cultural capital of Cusco.
'The owner of the horses and of the lodges where we would be staying during our trip was accompanying us throughout the ride.
'With his signal to proceed, we set out on what was to be the most memorable journey I have ever made.'
Horse trailing experiences is a new project to Machu Picchu, one of the world's most sought-after adventure holiday hotspots.
Sarah believes the popular combination of horse trailing and lodge accommodation coupled with the panorama of Machu Picchu will take off among UK holidaymakers and has launched the holiday offer on her website alongside ahost of other great horse riding holidays.
