The Cusco Inca Ruins Horseback Tour Full Day with Wonders of Peru Expeditions is the most comprehensive horseback tour of the Inca ruins around Cusco. Over six hours, you ride through the hills above the city visiting hidden temples, ancient quarries, and panoramic viewpoints that most tourists never reach — covering far more ground than any walking tour or half-day ride.
This tour visits six or more archaeological sites in a single day, including locations like Kallachaka and the Lanlacuyoc Caverns that are completely off the standard tourist circuit. With approximately four hours in the saddle on Peruvian Paso horses, you ride through Andean communities, highland farmland, and eucalyptus forests while your bilingual guide reveals the history of each site. A packed lunch at the Lanlacuyoc cave site gives you time to rest and take in the landscape before the afternoon ride.
Your guide picks you up at 9:00 AM and drives to the ranch. After a safety briefing and horse assignment, you begin riding through the Sacsayhuaman Archaeological Park. The morning takes you through the Yuncaypata community to Inkilltambo and the Temple of the Moon. After lunch at the Lanlacuyoc Caverns, the afternoon ride continues to the Devil’s Balcony before returning to the ranch by approximately 3:00 PM. You return to your hotel with a deeper understanding of Cusco’s Inca heritage than most visitors ever gain.
