Temple of the Moon, Zone X & The Devil’s Balcony






Explore the outskirts of Cusco city and the nature that surrounds it, riding a horse through largely unexplored routes that will lead you to see the Temple of the Moon, some mysterious labyrinth caves, and the Devil’s Balcony.
You will start the tour heading to the ranch where the horses wait for us, 20 minutes from downtown Cusco. Here you will choose your horse and the guide will give you an induction so that you can ride safely and calmly.
Our first destination horseback will be the Temple of the Moon, an ancient ceremonial center, where a mystical surrounding energy is said to exist.
Then we will ride toward an area of caves and natural labyrinths known as Cusco’s Zone X.
Our next stop will be the Devil’s Balcony, a rock with a stream that has an impressive natural view.
At each place mentioned, we will make stops to listen to the stories our guide has to share. We will return to our hotel.
