2.Half-Day Horseback Riding at Devil’s Balcony

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 89 reviews · 4 hours · from $85

Horseback ride from Cusco’s outskirts to Devil’s Balcony, with trained horses, canyon views, and Inca site stops in about four hours.

“An absolutely fantastic activity. We actually booked it the night before but they were very kind and accommodating. We had an incredible time. We have been horseback riding multiple times before however, this one may take the cake. Holger was a phenomenal guide. He took us through some amazing trails with insightful commentary on the geography and historical sites. The horses were great and looked very well cared for. The ride itself is worth double the fee but the fact that we got two brief excursions to explore the caverns and Devils balcony was a super added bonus! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!”

Horseback ride from Cusco to Templo de la Luna and Chacan Mountain on calm Peruvian Paso horses, with transfers, gear, and snacks.

“We were a family of 8 with a range of skills for horseback riding. Our trip was wonderful. Our hosts were so pleasant and made sure we were very comfortable on the horses they chose for us. The ride was at a good pace and scenic, with a stop at some ruins. Snacks were provided. Pick-up and drop-off at our hotel made planning very easy. It was an absolutely wonderful morning. In addition, while planning our trip to Peru, I needed to contact our hosts on a few occasions. Response were quick and helpful. I strongly recommend this tour- you will not be disappointed.”

Early pickup from Cusco for horseback riding to Rainbow Mountain, plus camelid spotting and a warm Cusipata breakfast and lunch.

“very well organized with pickup,time allocations and stops. A great experience. The only aspect I had concerns about,was around the arrangement with horses. We prepaid our horses and the other travellers were asked to pay 80soles to our guide,Wilfred, if they wanted a horse and then we got on a horse with a horseman. We rode up to a point and when we got off,we gave a tip to our horsemen...but they were most upset because it wasnt enough as fare. it was really hard to explain in Spanish that our travel guide has to pay them the fare ( not sure they understood ). Our guide had walked up…”
