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.

A great way to experience the scenery and learn about the countryside.
What a great way to spend the day! The horses were well trained and the views were amazing. We made several stops to soak in the scenery and Gabriel spoke about the history of the land. I was worried about getting on the horse but Gabriel was right there and I used his shoulder for support. A perfect way to see the beautiful countryside. I highly suggest this activity.

Great experience, the...
Great experience, the most beautiful countryside I've seen, and horses were wonderful. Would absolutely recommend. It was also a half-day excursion so you can still do something else during the rest of your day.

Sun and moon - sun and rain
We were very excited about horse riding in Cuzco. Gabriel picked us up from our hotel, and it was approx 20 minutes to the ranch. As there was only the two of us for the morning ride, it felt like a special private tour. The horses were extremely well looked after, and all the tack was in excellent condition. A handy ‘stump’ helped us up into the saddle.. Our first stop was the temple of the moon. What a super historical site! We covered quite a distance in the few hours - with a stop to get wet gear on when the heavens opened. This was a great fun thing to do away from the usual archeological treasures. Gabriel is obviously very professional and caring and loves his work. Would i recommend? Definitely yes!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 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 84 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 29 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, 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.
