Overview

This horseback riding tour begins near Cusco at Vieja Estancia Ranch, located about 15 minutes from the city. The tour lasts around four hours and includes round-trip transportation from your hotel to the ranch. At the ranch, participants receive saddles and safety helmets before the ride. The route passes through several Andean communities where visitors observe local farming practices, communal work, and the care of sheep, llamas, and alpacas. Riders also visit ancient Inca temples along the way and have the chance to experience the historical atmosphere of these sites. One key stop is the Balcony of the Devil, situated behind the Saqsayhuaman archaeological center. This natural rock formation features a large chasm with a window-like balcony that overlooks a river flowing through a cave beneath the rock. The area is part of a park used for hiking and camping. The tour includes a professional guide, a muleteer responsible for the horses, and mineral or natural water. Participants should follow the weight limit of 200 pounds and wear long pants, closed rubber-soled shoes, and a rain jacket if rain is forecast. Jewelry and valuables are not allowed during the ride.
