Additional Information

The journey commences with us picking you up from your lodging, followed by a brief 15-minute drive to our ranch. Here, we encourage you to unwind and enjoy the captivating atmosphere of the Cusco vicinity while observing our horses freely roam. Prior to setting off, we’ll pair you with a horse best suiting your level of riding ability and provide necessary safety instructions. Thereafter, we visit the enchanting moon temple, a prime location where the Inca celebrated moon-related rituals. Subsequently, we ascend the Chacan Mountain – a perfect spot for relaxation, education about our heritage, and broad panoramic views of our city. Upon reaching its peak, also referred to as ‘Devil’s Balcony,’ we’ll take a breather, consume light refreshment, and soak in vistas of Cusco from an elevated platform. Ultimately, we return to the ranch, bidding adieu and expressing gratitude to our horses for the splendid adventure they facilitated. The transfer will be prepared to take us back to your accommodation.

A wonderful ride in nature - It was amazing! I enjoyed the ride so much. I had no previous riding experience but felt comfortable. Gabriel is knowledgeable and great to connect with. Overall, a wonderful opportunity to be in nature and learn more about Inca history.

Must do with Kids or Teens - Gabriel was a fantastic tour guide and shared so much information about the Incan culture and traditions with us. His horses are well cared for and well trained. They were great with my kids and even walked the entire way with my 11 year old to make sure she was safe. My teenage son said this was his favorite part of our week long stay in Peru. This is a definite must do with kids while in Cusco!

So much fun and beautiful views of Cusco - Gabriel was so knowledgeable and a great guide! The snack bag was such a nice touch. He selected horses according to riding experience and they were the best behaved. I will 100% do this again next time when I come back.

Absolutely a 5* tour - This is an incredible ride, there are many different horses to fit all levels of riders. Gabriel is incredibly knowledgeable about both the horses and the many sacred Inca sights and will share all his passion for both with you. This is an absolute 5* trip. I can’t thank him enough for how much this trip impacted our entire vacation!

Amazing horses, amazing host, amazing experience - This was an amazing experience. After being picked up, we started from the ranch by being paired with amazing and gentle horses and started riding towards the moon temple and Chacan mountain. Gabriel was very knowledgeable and an amazing and kind host providing us with both historic and local information. Visiting a communal alpaca farm at the end was a great bonus.

Best experience ever - BEST TOUR EVER! Stop looking and book Gabriel’s experience, they pick you up from where you’re staying, they give you snacks, thy ask you how’s your experience with horses and they give you one that matches, I got Secreto de amor and I felt so safe and in control. Then the tour takes you to magical places that no other tour will take you. I’m really grateful, and totally will do it again :)
