The 5-day Inn to Inn Ride on the Salkantay Trail was amazing. The guides, horses, lodges, and support staff were outstanding. Adding an extra day at Machu Picchu is highly recommended!

Everything was exceptional—from the fit horses and incredible lodges to the wonderful food and staff. Their generosity of spirit, horsemanship, and concern for safety made the experience fun, inspiring, and authentic.

Pam & Francois

This was one of the safest treks we’ve been on. Our guide, Antonio, was a terrific horseman, and the horses were the fittest and happiest we’ve seen. We returned home changed in the best ways.

Julie R.

I had the time of my life! With a small group, a fantastic guide, and an extra night in Machu Picchu during the Winter Solstice, every detail—from the food to the scenery—was well worth the wait.

Amber H.

Every detail of this ride is ideal. From warm tea, hot tubs, and gourmet local food to galloping through fields beneath the Andes, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience on horseback or on foot.

Diane L.

An incredible trip where every detail of the journey was unforgettable. Guides Guido and Ricardo took great care of us, adjusting speeds and helping with high-altitude sections so we could fully enjoy the sacred cultural moments and breathtaking views.

Mountain Lodges is the most organized outfit I’ve worked with; everything ran like clockwork. The lodges, gourmet meals, wonderful guides, and fit, well-cared-for horses went above and beyond my expectations.

Janette S.

Guido was a fantastic guide, and the lodges were gorgeous destinations in their own right. The gourmet meals and service were five-star, and the horses were very well cared for. Riding was definitely the best way to trek!

Carolyn O.

Our 5-day ride through the Andes was the journey of a lifetime. The endurance saddles were comfortable, the horses were fit and surefooted, and the eco-lodges provided hot tubs, spas, and gourmet meals. The staff, guide Antonio, doctor, and grooms ensured we were safe and happy throughout our cultural and scenic adventure.

Annie H.

A dream-come-true, life-altering trip! Our guide was amazing and took great care of me when I had altitude sickness.

Jennifer G.

A wonderful, memorable week. Guide Antonio and the wranglers were professional and great company. The remote lodges are smoothly run, the food and horses are fantastic, and the positive impact on the local community is deeply moving.

Anne & Jim L.

A fantastic trip for adventurous riders. The lodges, fit horses, and guide Antonio were first-rate. The four-mile hike was challenging, but spending a second day at Machu Picchu and climbing Wayna Picchu was well worth it.

F.I.

The ride offered the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Exceptionally well-organized with excellent horses and challenging terrain, this trip is highly recommended for experienced riders.

Pat B.

An outstanding, fun, and safe trip of a lifetime! Guides Antonio and Yuri were professional and engaging. Pro tip: bring sturdy riding/hiking boots, a trekking pole for the lake hike, and prepare your legs beforehand. It was absolute perfection.
