About this activity
Your horseback riding adventure starts either in the morning or afternoon (depending on your option selected). You will meet your guide at your hotel or agency in Cusco and receive a briefing. Then, you will head to the ranch on a private vehicle.
The horseback riding ranch is located at Villa San Blas neighborhood and you will meet the horses and muleteers. You will get ready and start your ride, heading towards the archaeological site of the temple of the moon. Stop here and receive an explanation about the history of this place from your guide.
Pass by local communities and see their way of life as you reach the Temple of the Moon. Feel the energy of this ancient site and learn about it from your guide. Continue and finally reach the fabulous Devil’s Balcony or "Chacan." Here, you will stop by a natural cave formed thousands of years ago which was used as an Inca Shrine. Enjoy a snack at the cave and then head back to the ranch.
Once there, you'll board your vehicle back to Cusco and be dropped-off at your hotel.

If could on do one thing during your stay in Cusco I would choose this. Having never ridden before, I got on very well with my horse Sol - even getting up to a gallop. The scenery was absolutely stunning and exploring Devil's balcony on foot was breathtaking. The guide was friendly and very knowledgable, my favourite day I spent in Cusc - do it. Highly recommend this.
We really enjoyed our horseback riding tour. It was a great way to spend the morning while acclimating! We learned a lot about the area from our wonderful guide and did some hiking as well. I would highly recommend this as a way to spend a half day outside of Cusco.
