Description

Discover the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Cusco on horseback. This unique adventure will take you to the exquisite Moon Temple and Chacan Mountain.

Horseback Journey to Moon Temple & Chacan Mountain

Our adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your accommodation in Cusco, followed by a brief 20-minute minibus journey to the ranch situated in Huayllarcocha. Here, we will embark on an unforgettable horseback riding expedition through the majestic mountains of Cusco.

After meeting our amiable companions, the horses, we'll saddle up and traverse the beautiful Peruvian countryside. As we ride towards the renowned Moon Temple, our first destination, you'll be captivated by the stunning scenery.

This sacred site served as a venue for Incan rituals and offerings, particularly under the shimmering light of the full moon. Our guide will share intriguing tales about the significance of this ancient temple.

We will then continue our ride towards the Balcon del Diablo, where we will encounter an age-old cave revered by the Incas. This location provides an ideal setting to listen to the captivating narratives our guide will unfold regarding this enigmatic site.

Along the way, we will also pass by Chacan Mountain, journeying through charming Andean villages. From the summit, you'll be rewarded with stunning panoramas of Cusco.

To conclude our adventure, we will enjoy a delightful snack before retracing our steps on horseback to the ranch. After bidding farewell to our equine friends, we will return you to your hotel approximately 3.5 hours after the start of our journey.
