All the regular tours takes just a few minutes to visit only the big walls, but you need almost 3 to 4 hours to visit this archeologycal park on a good way, there are lots of hiden places that the tourists don't go on a regular way, for example the "Devil's Balcony" (Caves made by the incas), the "Temple of The Moon" an ancient inca temple used for rituals for fertility, the "Inca Face" a natural shape on the nature that was considered sacred by the incas. If you love to explore and learn on a curious way about the incas, this is the best option for you! .

Unforgettable Day in the Andes
Absolutely breathtaking day exploring the countryside of the Andes on horses. Holger and his family were wonderful and getting to have a home cooked meal from his mom looking over the sacred valley is something I’ll never forget. Manulo & Pinto were the most sure footed and trusty steeds we could have asked for. Was very impressed by how well behaved the horses were through the rocky terrain, not to mention how well cared for they were too. Pro tip: bring some carrots for the horses for after your ride!

Great, for experienced as well as inexperienced
We are a family of an experienced adult, an experienced child, an inexperienced child and an inexperienced adult (myself). In summary: We all had fun! The experienced riders got adequate horses and the guide gave them the liberty to advance at their pace, return, run, whatever. That would never happen in Europe! And I myself was happy with a lazy horse which just followed the known path at a human’s walking pace. Almost no need for me to give signals to the horse, no need to be scared of the horse breaking out, etc. The landscape is stunning, the ruins you visit are not very spectacular but worth a short stop and a few pictures. The tour in the end lasted 3+ hours (from Cuzco to Cuzco, going up by car, walking back down), which was more than the 2 hours we paid for. Very happy!

Highlight of My Time in Cusco
Everything about the experience was fantastic, from the prompt pick-up time to the tour of the ruins and mountains to the beautiful horses at the ranch. The family who runs the ranch is extremely kind and knowledgeable of the area and will do everything to make sure that your experience is the best that it can be. Many of the locations that were stops on the tour are inaccessible by car and a difficult trek by foot, so horseback is definitely the way to go. Cantering through the Andes is an experience that I'll never forget!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco cost?
+
Prices start at $195 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 Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco?
+
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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Horseback Riding to the Viewpoint of the Lagoons from Cusco 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.
