Horseback in Peru

Excellent experience in the mountains around Cusco. Gabriel was an excellent guide who clearly takes great care of his horses. Beautiful experience.

Great ride out of town

A lovely afternoon ride in the nearby hills out of town. Horses were very patient and easy to ride guides and overall organisation was excellent. Would recommend this as a relaxing afternoon trip.

Phenomenal Tour!

Gabriel’s tour was phenomenal. None of us in our group knew what to expect and this tour exceeded our expectations. Gabriel was patient and understanding to those who had never ridden a horse before. He paired each of us up to a horse he thought we would work best with. I got Finnicks and enjoyed every step of the ride. We got to see so much history and asked so many questions and got detailed answers. Cannot recommend this tour enough! Gabriel even explained how he makes sure the horses are rested and properly taken care of to ensure they are treated humanely. He has hundreds of acres for the horses to roam free!

Wonderful, authentic, highly recommended Highlight

This was a wonderful experience! We were not experienced in horseback riding and Gabriel was taking this into account carefully choosing the perfect horse for everyone. He gave us a very knowledgeable and authentic tour. The tour itself was very well organized. It was also a great way to get out of the hyper touristy city and experience the great landscape. Thank you Gabriel, we highly recommend this tour! It was one of the highlight of our stay in Cusco.

Perfect way to acclimate to the altitude

This was hands down the best tour we took while in Cusco. Gabriel is an absolute gem. If you have the opportunity to learn from him about the local culture, the Inca people, and life in the region, you'll leave both happier and more knowledgeable. He guided us on a wonderful ride through the mountains and hills, sharing fascinating information while allowing plenty of time to take in the breathtaking scenery. The horses were well cared for, gentle, and easy to ride, and we felt safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. This tour was the perfect way to acclimate to the altitude while enjoying some of the most beautiful views around Cusco. We only wish we had booked another tour with Gabriel during our trip. I cannot recommend this horseback riding tour highly enough.

Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon: questions travelers ask

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

How does Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon compare to similar tours in Cusco?

+

It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Cusco, with an Outty Ranking of 77. At $65 it sits above the typical similar option ($43), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for couples and anyone who wants flexible plans.

Who is Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon best for?

+

It suits couples and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 3.5-hour length, minimum age of 1 and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Is Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at $65, above the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

How much does Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon cost?

+

Prices start at $65 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 Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon take?

+

Plan for about 3.5 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 Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 87 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 Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon?

+

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 Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon?

+

Around 30 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon 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, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). 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.

+

Does Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon include hotel pickup?

+

What languages is Horse Riding Chacan Mountain And Temple Of The Moon offered in?

+
