HORSE RIDING One the other activities in Cusco is with the stocky horses of the Peruvian
highlands are not thoroughbreds, but they are well adapted in stature to high
altitude and used to narrow mountain trails. The geography around Cusco is
spectacular, and the hills are peppered with the remains of the Inca Empire. We
offer several programs, from gentle excursions to more adventurous programs.
Program: HALF DAY TOUR.- The visit on horseback on the archaeological sites in the mountains around
Cusco, including the temple dedicated to Mother Earth at Q´enqo, the Temple of
the Moon and Lanlacuyoc, known to locals as the “X Zone”; a limestone outcrop
where natural openings in the rock have been used by the Incas to create a
labyrinth of sacred tunnels dedicated to Mother Earth. On the way we also visit
Puca - Pucara and Tambomachay, a centre for the worship of water, as well as
some local villages on our way back to the stables. At the end of the excursion
we will have time to visit the megalithic archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman.
ALSO WE HAVE OTHER HORSE RIDINGS PROGRAMS.- Ask for that...
