After picking you up from your accommodation, the first step is to get to know our horses and especially connect with them. Finally learn the basic instructions in order to feel comfortable and safe to guide them along the way.

We will take you on a horseback ride through the mystical and hidden areas of the city that belong to the Sacsayhuaman National Park (not Sacsayhuaman archaeological site). Inkilltambo, Temple of the Moon (fertility temple), Amaru Wasi (where formerly rituals are performed to be healed) and Chuspiyoq (Inka’s face).

We will try to get to know about the Andean worldview, the nature-human relationship and the principles of Andean culture.

You will be surrounded by nature, beautiful views and if we are lucky wild animals that live freely in the area.

Additional Information

Love for nature, mountains, horses, culture, and Andean mysticism are the words that best describe this experience.

Our tour will take place in part of the Sacsayhuaman National Park (not the Sacsayhuaman archaeological site), with the main visit to Inkilltambo, huacas or religious-ceremonial centers from the time of the Incas such as Chuspiyoq, Amaru Wasi, and the Temple of the Moon. Part of the Inca Trail to Antisuyo will also be visited on the route.

Here I will show you many of the basic concepts of our culture, such as reciprocity, respect, and syncretism with nature, for which I will teach you the use of ritual elements of local use.

Feel free to send me a message if you have doubts or questions about the experience, we are always here to help.

Worth it! - An incredible tour! I was pretty scared of horseback riding, but Arnold and his assistant made me feel at ease. I have never ridden a horse before, but it was a great experience and a great way to explore the temples :) Thank you Arnold!

Wonderful ride to see the temples. - We had a great time with Arnold visiting the temples around Cusco. He had lots of interesting information and talked a lot about Peruvian way of life. He described the personality of each horse to make sure the was a good fit for each rider. The horses are well taken care of and you can tell Arnold has a bond with each one. Highly recommend this tour.

Fun experience! - This was so fun and the horses were well trained. It was great to know about the history of Aztecs. It was so pretty to overlook the city and the mountains. We had two amazing guides ( Andrea and Franko) that helped us and explained everything so well. There was a max of 4 people and made it very intimate and personal. This was such amazing experience, totally recommend on coming here.

Unique magical experience and great value! Learned about Incan culture and how to ride a horse! - This was an unforgettable experience. We learn how to ride horses and explored four different Incan cultural sites. Arnold was very knowledgeable and a great storyteller Franco the other Guide, who helped us with the horseback riding was very patient and kind as well. My family and I had an amazing time, we will remember this experience forever!

Highly recommend this tour! - Wonderful guide and horses. The experience was incredible. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone! We started out above cusco and visited a couple ruins by horse. We have some experience riding and were able to canter quite a bit which made it very fun! Our guide was so knowledgeable and fave us such great insights into the past and current culture and reasons for the ruins. I felt this was actually one of my favorite experiences in peru even though we signed up for some pretty incredible stuff and this would be the least of them, it turned out to be one of the best!
