A morning saddle fits like a second skin as you rise from the sugarcane edge and push into the warm, whispering wood of Pómac. The Peruvian Paso horses step with a steady, rocking gait; the trees lean and watch, and the low sun finds the earthen contours of ancient mounds ahead. Within an hour you reach low, terraced pyramids—stone and adobe forms that read like a map of a culture’s ritual life.
