Kanai Azhagamman Temple - Kanai Azhagamman Temple is a lesser-known but significant temple located in the village of Kanai, in the Viluppuram district of Tamil Nadu. The temple is relatively modest in size compared to larger temples in Tamil Nadu, but it retains a deep spiritual aura that draws devotees from nearby areas. The temple and surroundings are devoid of any commercial activities and is very serene. The area is full of neem and banyan trees. Even in the peak of summer, this part of the world will remain cool and breezy! The presiding deity is Azhagamman (a form of Goddess Shakti), and the temple also includes shrines for other deities, such as Lord Shiva and Lord Ganesha. There is very old and huge ant-hill which is preserved and prayers are being offered here. Local belief is that someone who wants to build a house comes here and he/she arranges the stones representing house, the wishes are granted. Azhagamman is believed to be a powerful goddess who grants blessings, protection, and prosperity to her devotees. The temple is a center of spiritual activities and festivals for the local community.

Fantastic short adventure from Cusco - This was a fantastic experience and highly recommended for anyone who is okay with riding horses. From hotel pickup to drop off this was probably only ~3.5hrs. There was a solid 2-2.5 hours for the trek which included two stops at Incan ruins. Considering you are only about 25mins outside Cusco you feel like you’re in the Andean countryside. The horses were very well trained and we alternated between walking and a good gallop which was thrilling and a touch jarring. The scenery was majestic and our guide Holger was fantastic.

Highly recommended! - An absolutely impeccable experience from start to finish. Our guide’s language skills, knowledge of the area and history was second to none and his obvious affection for the horses shone through. A truly unforgettable experience that we would recommend and re visit if we had the opportunity - even though we are total novices, we felt very safe throughout. We really couldn’t recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you so much!

Tory provider canceled 4 days out so they could raise the price $5 - I booked nearly two months ago. My tour was scheduled for Wednesday and the vendor canceled today (Saturday), but is offering the same tour at the same time, but increased the price $5. There are other vendors offering similar horseback tours. I wouldn’t trust someone who would do this to someone in the middle of their vacation just so they can greedily get a little more money out of someone else. Viator should be ashamed they allow vendors to do this.
