Highlights
- Horseback Riding in Cusco By Vieja Estancia Ranch - Our ranch located only 15 minutes away from Cusco city, here we have our horses that will give you a great experience exploring the hiden places of Cusco city.
- Balcon del Diablo - On the backside of the Saqsayhuaman archaeological center is the Balcony of the Devil, an archaeological attraction and natural architectural heritage left by our ancestors. Today it is part of a beautiful park where you can go to enjoy hiking, camping, walks and excursions.
The Balcony of the Devil is known for being a large rock with a spectacular view of a chasm in the middle. There is a window, a balcony overlooking the river that runs underneath rock. Below the balcony, the river goes through a huge cave towards the other end of the rock. Some people dare cross through, making a chilling experience.

Awesome tour! - Spectacular views on this ride with a very knowledgeable guide. The visits of the devil’s balcony and other sites were just an extra wonderful addition to that horse back riding.

SKIP RAINBOW MOUNTAIN - If you enjoy riding at all, this day of scenic beauty and historic sights is for you! The horses are calm but responsive and you get to trot or canter a bit if you like amongst the green mountains of Peru
