Highlights
- Valencia Travel - We will pick you up from your hotel and take our private transport to the ranch near Qenko. At the ranch, we will get you set up with our horses and meet the horsemen, who will be with you for the whole trek. On leaving the ranch, we take you to the ruins of Qenko. From here, you will get a wonderful view of the ruins but if you would like to visit them properly. Then, you will need the Cusco tourist ticket (the horsemen can look after the horses while you explore). From Qenko, we will follow a small dirt path alongside the road up to the next site, Puca Pucara. The name translates to “The Red Gate” and is named due to the site’s prior function as the controlled entrance into Cusco during the Incan period. We then continue on to Tambomachay, which was something of an Incan “bath house” and was also a place of worship to water. From Tambomachay, we pass through a eucalyptus forest on the way to our final destination of Sacsayhuaman, which is where the Incas worshiped light. We end our tour at Saqsayhuaman so you can take as much time as you want to explore this spectacular site.

Cusco traditional city horse riding tour - SO MUCH FUN! You get to enjoy the horses and the beautiful countryside; you have the opportunity to canter and trot, not just walk slowly on the trail. You see interesting ruins, where you are able to get off your horse and explore on foot. The guide was very informed. A fantastic experience !!

ABSOLUTELY WORST COMPANY DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM - This company allowed me to book the tour, did not confirm, did not answer a SINGLE message or phone call the entire time and then it turns out THEY WERE CLOSED THE DAY I BOOKED. So I wasted my time on my vacation when I could've used another service and actually enjoyed my time. The worst experience with a tour I have ever had, zero customer service, zero response, absolutely terrible. If you want to book with these clowns, don't waste your money.
