Our day will begin when we pick you up from your hotel in Cusco at 9 a.m. We’ll then make the short drive to the ranch, where we’ll meet our horses. Your guide will give you all the necessary instructions and information for your ride, which will last for three to four hours.
The setting off on horseback, we’ll first head up to the great Inca site of Saqsayhuaman. Built on a hilltop overlooking Cusco, Saqsayhuaman displays some of the most outstanding examples of Inca stonework, with massive stone blocks shaped and carved to perfection and fitting seamlessly into the enormous walls. We’ll then move to Qenqo, one of the largest Huacas, or holy places, in the Cusco Region. Here we’ll see natural rock formations that the Incas used for sacred purposes, carving shapes and symbols into the rocks.
Next, we’ll ride up to Puka Pukara, a set of military ruins. Built by the Inca Empire, this fort has large walls, terraces and staircases, and a commanding view that allowed the Incas to see any approaching threats long before they could attack Cusco below. The last site we’ll explore during our ride is Tambomachay. Its exact purpose is unknown, but it may have functioned like an Inca spa, at least in part. Inca hydro-engineering is apparent here, with a series of aqueducts, canals, and waterfalls running through the terraced rocks.
At around 11:15 a.m., we’ll arrive at Chacan Mountain, where we’ll have a break with amazing views of Cusco. After the break, we’ll start riding back down to the ranch. Once we’ve said goodbye to our beautiful horses, we’ll drive you back to your hotel in Cusco, where our tour will end.
