      Then to the salt platforms of Salineras (Inca times), still being used by the locals to extract salt from the mountain spring water. Where the salty water is channeled through an impressive irrigation system and left to evaporate in the sun.Continue 2 hours climbing riding the horses (1000m) to reach the high Andean. Over at 3750m the stunning scenery and the snow-capped mountains of Chicon, Veronica and Salkantay is impressive. Cooling of the products was achieved by using a genius system of underground air-circulation.

    Horseback riding in Moray

    My friends and I had an amzing horse ride with Huaynas Expeditions last year. The horses were beautiful and really well trained, the scenery was epic and so diverse across the trip, and the visits/stops (Salineras salt flats, lunch, and Moray) were fascinating. Highly recommend it instead of the bus tour!

    Excellent attention, Great horses, Best ranch ever.

    Had a really great day horseback riding in the Sacred Valley. It is really beautiful and scenic. The only time I've ever ridden a horse and it was no problem. we paid via Western Union transfer that seemed a bit risky but it was totally fine. Had a lunch picnic while watching the mountains and stopped at the salt ponds. They picked us up and dropped us off in Cusco which was super convenient. Our guide Adriel was so knowledgeable about the horses and the areas! He was very kind and guided us through everything we needed. Highly recommend this company enough!! They truly go out of their way to make your time very enjoyable.

    Response from the operator: Dear Vassanty, Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review of your trip. I am glad that we were able to accommodate this tour for you I hope we get the opportunity to welcome you back soon. Kind regards, Huaynas Expeditions Team

    From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions cost?

    +

    Prices start at $235 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does From Cusco: Horseback Riding Maras Moray - Huaynas Expeditions start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
