Peru · 6 days
Texapampa sits in the hills around Oxapampa, in the Pasco region of central Peru, in a valley that combines Andean altitude, high-jungle forest and clean mountain air. The property is a working ranch: horses, trails, rivers and cabins share the land with native trees, and a stream runs past the yoga platform. Guests can come for a single day's ride or a five-night retreat, work remotely from a cabin, hold a small meeting, or look at a house or plot in the ranch community.
The riding is the core of it. The herd of 23 includes Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Aztecas and retired polo horses. They live on open pasture and are trained at liberty before being saddled, and each rider is assigned a horse after a calm session in the corral. That means beginners and experienced riders both set off on the right horse for the right trail. Beginners get lessons and gentle horses; experienced riders can ask for longer and more varied routes.
Away from the horses, guided and self-guided trails cross meadows, groves and stream banks. Walks can be paired with mindfulness and breathing work, or with birdwatching at dawn in a region where Andean and lowland species overlap. The yoga sessions happen outdoors, in the mornings or at sunset, depending on the package.
Food is farm-to-table, with Andean, Amazonian and ranch flavours. Vegetarian and plant-based options are always available, and gluten-free, dairy-free or allergy-specific menus can be prepared. Meals are shared, and the ranch's accommodation for retreats holds up to 18 people, with outdoor practice spaces.
Part of the ranch's income is reinvested in a long-term programme that returns degraded land to native forest, plants native trees, restores soil and wildlife corridors, and supports local farmers adopting sustainable methods. It started with the land around Texapampa and is growing outward, plot by plot.
