“This tour was fantastic. Our guide did a wonderful job and takes great pride in his tours. We were picked up at our hotel on time. The price is more than worth it. Highly recommend!”
Horseback ride from a Cusco ranch to Temple of the Moon and Chacan Mountain, with calm Peruvian Paso horses, snacks, and transfers.
“I surprised my husband with this horseback-riding tour for his birthday and we had a wonderful time. Our guide, Gabriel was kind and very knowledgeable, the scenery and mountains were spectacular, and the horses were also very beautiful. We also loved stopping the at Temple of the Moon towards the end of the trip and hearing about the history of the place. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a little adventure around the mountains of Cusco.”
Meet rescued Andean animals at Cochahuasi Sanctuary near Cusco. Skip lines with a prebooked ticket and learn from a local guide.
“This is one of the highlights of my 18 day trip! Such a cool experience, the animals appeared to be safe, well cared, and content. My guide spoke excellent English. There were very few people there. Only hitch was I took an Uber to get there, not realizing how remote the sanctuary is. Would recommend arranging both to and from transportation so you don’t get stranded!”
South Valley Cusco tour links Tipon terraces, Wari Pikillacta, and Andahuaylillas Sistine Chapel, with guide and transport for about $20.
“As I got food poisoned for dinner I texted them during the night asking to be moved on the next day’s trip they just replied in the next morning saying that I’ll need to book another one and pay again. No empathy at all. Not even a voucher… I wouldn’t recommend this agency.”
A small-group Cusco horseback ride to the Temple of the Moon, plus lesser-seen ruins, with round-trip transport, safety gear, and tickets included.
“Really enjoyed our experience with this guided tour - the animals seemed to be in great health, the introductory tutorial was helpful for all experience levels, and the guide spoke perfect English. Loved seeing the various Inca ruins and beautiful landscape. All around an awesome experience - would definitely recommend!”
