I am so glad I found this tour! I have been looking for horseback riding companies in Cusco and so glad I went with this company. I am not an experienced rider at all. I have only ridden on vacations like 2 times, and would never consider myself a serious rider. Just a real beginner! First of all, Holger was very responsive when I first inquired about the tour, and was graciously able to book a tour for just one person. I told him I was a little worried about the altitude, as I was starting to feel symptoms again, and he was very understanding. Then I expressed my concerns about needing a calm, smaller horse who was gentle, and that's exactly what I got! I created such a great bond with my host, and I've never really been a horse person, or even rode for a full day, only 2 hours maximum and couldn't wait to get off afterwards. But this time I didn't want the tour to end!! In the morning it was a small group tour, since I didn't mind either way if it was a small group or private. We went to Devil's Balcony. Then in the afternoon, was private with just Holger and I and we went to the Temple of The Moon. Both experiences were incredible, because Holger and everyone on my morning tour were so patient with me and encouraging. I felt like I was learning fast. Plus we also learned about the places we went too, and the surrounding areas. Breath taking views throughout the whole ride where you can see forever and peaceful surroundings. Same in the afternoon. I got to even rock climb and felt like I was in an Indiana Jones movie! I've never climbed rocks before, but Holger opened me up to new experiences, and was so patient with me the whole day, both on the group and private. When I thought things couldn't get better, Holger and I had a picnic lunch all set for us near the Temple of The Moon prepared by his mom who joined us for part of it and was so kind, and not to mention, an amazing cook!! Plus throughout both morning and after, Holger made sure there was enough water and snacks for everyone, even when I dropped one of my fruits, he graciously gave me another, and an extra pack of oreos which I asked for. They really all went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable day. I would definitely ride with Holger again, even for an overnight tour. I wish I was a more advanced rider to do a multi-day trip. And an added bonus, for any cat and dog lovers, there are the sweetest, most affectionate, cuddly cat and dogs on Holger's farm. I made friends with them, there was a little puppy only 9 weeks old and a sweet and sassy cat who loved attention.

What an incredible way to spend the day exploring the area around Cusco!! We were able to see so many sites that are off the beaten path that we couldn’t have got to just on foot. We couldn’t recommend this experience more. Our guide was incredible and so knowledgeable. Thank you so much !

I was so impressed with this tour and could not recommend it enough! The horses were incredible, well taken care of and a joy to ride. We were able to gallop multiple times throughout the trip and it was an absolute joy. But there is so much more to this experience on top of the fantastic ride! Seeing some of the off the beaten path Inca temples is so special, there are far less visitors at these sites and they are equally as important as some of the better known spots. The guide was passionate and had so much knowledge to share. He was a joy to spend the day with. He also provided some videos from our ride which I am so grateful to have and look back on! This was by far my favorite thing I did on my trip to Peru and highly recommend it!

Extraordinarily beautiful ride that showed parts of the Andes and hidden archaeological sites that you could easily miss. I'm still speechless for the views we saw today. We booked this trip at 4:30 the day before, when we were looking for something to do on our last day before returning to Lima that wouldn't be too far out of the city. The ranch is a quick 20 minute ride and then you start your journey on horse and feel like you are hours away. I was nervous that everything would not get confirmed last minute, but they were quick to reply and communicate via what's app after booking and the driver arrived at the hotel right on time. Morgan led our tour and was great. He was very thoughtful and wanted to ensure we saw all of the sites.

It is a such a beautiful ride on well trained, contented horses. Amazing to be able to visit these hidden Inca treasures far from the touristy crowds. As some of the reviews say, the saddles are really hard, but don't let that discourage you! Holger really cares about his animals and the land and he is an excellent guide. A truly five star experience that I am so grateful for.

Cusco Moon Temple

Laqo is the original name of this archaeological site better known as the Temple of the Moon. A few years ago, archaeologists found here the bodies of eight children who might have been sacrificed in Inca times. These children could have been the servants or Capac Qochas of Amaro Topa Inca, Pachacuteq´s offspring and Tupac Yupanqui´s brother.
