Experience a captivating equestrian performance where you'll gain insights into the renowned Paso breed, often hailed as the premier saddle horse globally, through this remarkable Peruvian Horse Show.

Peruvian Horse Show

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Lima at the scheduled time, followed by a journey of around 15 minutes to the Lurin Valley. Here, you'll explore the ancient pre-Inca ruins dedicated to the deity Pachacamac, a site of great significance for the ancient Andean civilization. A two-hour guided tour will allow you to uncover the rich histories of the Moche, Huai, and Inca cultures.

The itinerary also includes a visit to the Acllawasi citadel, a revered location where sacrificial virgins were once offered to the sun, along with the Taurichumpe Temple, which served as the residence for the last custodian of the Pachacamac Sanctuary.

Around noon, we will reconvene to embark on a short drive to a traditional hacienda, where a cherished aspect of Peruvian culture will unfold before us. As we stroll through the charming gardens, we will witness an unparalleled equestrian exhibition featuring chalanes, the authentic Peruvian horsemen dressed in timeless ponchos crafted from vicuña fiber and straw hats.

As we observe the unique flat gait of the Paso breed, we will explore how its four-beat rhythm renders it the smoothest ride in equestrian experiences, a feat achieved through centuries of crossbreeding among the fieldón, Andalusian, and Frisian breeds.

Throughout the performance, you will delve into the nuances of this world-renowned Peruvian breed, learning about its various preparation stages and care processes. Additionally, a mesmerizing marinera dance, a hallmark of Peruvian tradition, will captivate your senses as women perform on foot while chalanes showcase their skills atop Peruvian Paso horses.

Still enveloped in the excitement of the equestrian display, you'll enjoy a lunch featuring an array of delicious and iconic Peruvian dishes.

After the meal, we will make our way back to Lima, concluding the tour and returning you to your hotel after approximately 7 hours.
