ITINERARY
Day 1: Cusco – Pumamarka
Pumamarca was an ancient citadel located on top of a hill in the north of Ollantaytambo between rivers Patakancha and Yuracmayo (White River), dominating a strategic place from which one has a privileged view of both valleys. But a great mystery surrounds these impressive archaeological remains: nobody knows exactly when the citadel was built, or what was its specific function.
The architecture supports Inca-made features, so it is assumed that Pumamarca could have been one of the first settlements in the area of Ollantaytambo.
Before riding, the guide will give instructions and basic guidelines for greater control of the horse, and basic safety instructions. This tour begins with a ride from Ollantaytambo to the archaeological site of Puma Marka. Along the way we see breathtaking scenery sporting terraces with impressive ancient aqueducts that surround the area.
- After finishing the tour, we transport you back to your Cusco hotels.
