Overview

The adventure begins with the pick-up from the hotel at 9:00 am, and then we will move to the RANCHO approximately 20 minutes from the city where we will then find our horses, and we will receive prior instruction on how to handle the animals correctly without mistreating them and to ride to visit archaeological sites. The TEMPLE of the MOON, then we go to the CHUSPILLO area, part of the Inca trail to ANTISUYU, Zone “X” and to EL BALCON DEL DIABLO, important for the size of its rocky blocks of natural limestone formation, establishing a cavern which is crossed by a river. Meters higher at the height of the road and constructions you can see a small cave which, when eroding, forms a window that, when you stick your head out, shows us the river that crosses the rock as if it were a BALCONY and that was used for celebrations such as RITOS AL AGUA AND EARTH.

  • The Temple of the Moon was one of the huacas or magical sanctuaries where the Incas celebrated rituals in honor of the moon. Along the way, there is the Monkey Temple, which they say is an astronomical viewpoint, a worship center, etc. Another legend is that it is a place of homage to the jungle, since the monkey does not exist in the highlands of Peru. Hard to agree with the origin and function of this archaeological site, there are these 2 theories. Less than half a mile later, there is the mysterious rock of the Temple of the Moon. They say that it is a temple for fertility, in fact, many couples who cannot have children who go to this place with faith to revive their reproductive center. (pass by)
