Cusco: Horseback Riding to Devil's Balcony & Inca RuinsYou ride from a ranch near Cusco up through working Andean villages and past Inca temples to the Devil's Balcony, a rock formation with a window overlooking a river gorge. The tour includes your horse, helmet, professional guide, hotel pickup, and water. Plan for a few hours and wear long pants and closed shoes.Is it for me?This tour works well if you want to explore Cusco's high valleys and Inca sites on horseback without arranging transport or a guide yourself—the fixed pickup and included professional guide handle both, leaving you to focus on the ride and the landscape.
Horseback Riding Cusco: Temple of the Moon & Chacan MountainA 3.5-hour horseback riding tour from Cusco takes you along Inca trails to the Temple of the Moon and Chacan Mountain, with a professional bilingual guide, hotel transfer, protective equipment and a snack. Morning departures leave at 9:00 am; afternoon rides start at 1:00 pm. The guide provides historical context at each stop, and the route includes a break at Chacan Mountain where you can see across Cusco from the ridge.Is it for me?Choose the morning departure if you want to ride while the light is fresh and the temperature cooler; the afternoon slot works better if you prefer a later start or want time to explore Cusco's center before heading to the ranch.
Cusco: Horseback Ride to Temple of the Moon & InkilltamboYou’ll saddle up outside Cusco with a local guide and wander ancient trails by horseback past hidden ruins and wildflowers. Visit Chuspiyoc’s mysterious rock faces, rest among Inca terraces at Inkilltambo, then walk quietly through mossy stones at Temple of the Moon — with laughter, stories, and moments you might not expect.
Horseback Riding Tour Cusco: Four Ruins in 4 HoursA 4-hour horseback riding tour from Cusco visits Sacsayhuaman, Quenqo, Puka Pucara and Tambomachay—the four most important archaeological sites in the hills around the ancient capital. You ride the whole route with a professional guide who speaks English or Spanish, a muleteer caring for the horses, and all gear provided; private transport gets you to the trailhead and back to your hotel.Is it for me?This is a shared-group tour with a guide leading the pace and the route, which means you ride with other travelers and follow the itinerary the operator sets. It suits anyone who wants to see all four ruins in one morning without the planning—the guide handles the history, the muleteer handles the horses, and the transport is arranged—but it's not the choice if you prefer to ride alone or set your own speed.
Cusco Horseback Tour: Temple of the Moon & Chacan ViewsYou’ll ride gentle horses from Cusco into wild hills with a local guide, visit the mysterious Temple of the Moon, pause for snacks atop Chacan Mountain with sweeping city views, and return feeling both grounded and quietly awed by Inca history.
