Cusco, Peru

Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Ride through the hills above Cusco to the Temple of the Moon, a sacred Inca site few visitors reach on foot.

After pickup from your hotel, you will meet your horse at the ranch near Sacsayhuaman. No riding experience is needed: the horses are calm and move at walking pace, and local horsemen lead the way while your guide shares the history of the area.

The trail crosses open Andean countryside with wide views over Cusco. At the Temple of the Moon, a natural rock formation carved by the Incas, you will learn about the ceremonies once held there and the role of the moon in Andean beliefs.

It is a peaceful, different way to experience the landscape around Cusco, away from the busy main sites.

Round-trip transport from your hotel, horse with equipment, horsemen and a professional guide are included. Total time is about three hours.
