Ride from a local ranch above Cusco to Devil’s Balcony, then see nearby Inca sites on horseback with helmets, guides, and big views.
“Such a beautiful and different way to spend some time in Cusco!! We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel as indicated. We were brought to a small local ranch (they had several horses out in the pasture and a few horses were saddled up and ready for us). We were given basic instructions for riding, but the horses are so well behaved, they knew which way to follow. We rode into the forest, up some hills, great views over Cusco and nearby ruins. We had 2 stops along the way where we were shown some Inca ruins/sites that are not usually seen on the typical tours. Our…”

“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.

“Benny made our tour really special. We enjoyed all the sites, but the highlight for us was the riding. Peruvian horses have super comfortable gate; the staff matched horses to the experience of the riders perfectly. The trail has amazing views and just the right level of adventure for our (basic) level of experience. Highly recommend!”

“Really so beautiful. Rainbow mountain is pretty, but the surrounding area like red valley really makes this special. Did have a little confusion with pre booking the horse as well. I recommend booking a tour that doesn’t include the horse, and just pay in person. Alfredo supported us, and even offered someone oxygen when they weren’t feeling well. We added red valley last minute and it was so worth it. Food was good too.”
