Detailed tinerary of the tour

We have two departure times (you can choose the time that best suits your travel itinerary):

Morning from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm
Afternoon from 1:30 pm to 5:30 pm

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel and transfer to the ranch in our private transportation, in the upper part of Saqsayhuaman, where the horses are located and where we can begin this beautiful half-day horseback riding tour in Cusco.

Once the tour has begun and we’re mounted on the horses, we head to the Temple of the Moon, our first stop. We’ll take a walking tour to explore the inside and outside. Our guide will explain all about this beautiful temple. It is also known as the Temple of Fertility in Inca and pre-Inca culture.

After a pleasant tour of the Temple of the Moon, we will head towards the eucalyptus forest and then to the Sacsayhuamán viewpoint, where we will have a great view of the city of Cusco.

On the last part of our tour, we will take the trail to the Devil’s Balcony or Chacan. Along the way, we will pass by some farms, herds of local animals, and enjoy a beautiful view of the city and its surroundings. There are some flat areas where we can test our horse riding skills. Once we reach the Devil’s Balcony, we will leave our horses and explore the area. It is an incredible natural site where the Incas decided to build a temple dedicated to the rainbow.

On the way back, we will stop at an ancient Inca quarry to explore some caves and a small ancient Inca temple. Finally, after some adventure, we will arrive at the Ranch and leave our horses to take our transportation back to the hotel.

End of services.

A very personal experience

Our guide and driver could not have been more helpful. The bus was just for us but was modern, clean and tidy. The visits to the archaeological sites and the weavers were fascinating and breaks were timed around our needs. I can't recommend this outing too highly.

Sacred Valley, Machu Pichu, Rainbow Mountain

We spent 3 full days with Domingo combining the 2-day Sacred Valley/Machu Pichu tour with 1-day Rainbow Mountain, both originated in Cusco. The entire trip was awesome! Domingo provided everything we could as and more for our small group. He was punctual, helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to travel with. His experience and local knowledge was evident as he (and our drivers) guided us across and through these cultural and geographic spectacles. Domingo provided insight we couldn't have achieved on our own, while giving us our space to explore and enjoy the surrounding at our own pace. Domingo also provided technical assistance if required, such as assisting us with train schedules. Domingo help make this trip a marvelous and memorable adventure..

An unforgettable tour

Excellent planning and accompaniment of the whole team. A lot of professionalism on the part of agents and guides. The only thing we didn't like was the little lunch option. While the buffet was optional, there were no other options either or told us in any previous village if we wanted to buy our lunch beforehand. We were practically forced to buy that lunch which by the way we found expensive.

Above and Beyond! The Best Way to See Peru

Our 14-day trip to Peru with Machu Picchu Valjes was absolutely seamless from start to finish. Traveling to a new continent with children where there is a language barrier can be daunting, but this team made us feel completely at home. From the moment we landed until the moment we departed, we had professional, prompt guides and drivers by our side.
