Horseback Riding in Cusco |
|
|
Explore the fortresses and ceremonial centres of the Incas of Peru on this horseback riding tour
| Overview | |
|
For those who want to do away with conventional sightseeing modes of transport, this tour is the perfect answer. Saddle up a horse and set out to explore the beautiful, historical city of Cusco and its surroundings which are teeming with archaeological sites and ruins of the mighty Incas. Accompanied by an experienced horseman, set off at a comfortable pace through the charming streets and villages around Cusco. Explore the Inca ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Qenko, Puca Pucara and Tambo Machay. Sacsayhuaman means ‘satisfied falcon’ and this former Inca site is filled the zigzag fortifications. Ride to the Inca ruins of Qenko, a limestone rock with caves, tunnels and carvings of a puma, condor and llama. This site was once a ceremonial centre for the Incas. Keep your camera handy as Puca Pucara offers a panoramic view of the Cusco Valley. Don’t miss this lovely and relaxing horse back trip through Cusco and its surrounds.
