I was told about the Moon Temple by Atipaq, the freedom of speech advocate who can be found near San Pedro Market. He urged me to visit there and I found this tour. It was serene, magical and such a great change from the intensity of standard tourist tours. Olger was so deeply connected to this land and he shared the importance of these more recent excavations with reverence. Riding horses high on the ridge overlooking Cusco and feeling the energy of the land was magical and an experience I will not forget.
Really enjoyed our experience with this guided tour - the animals seemed to be in great health, the introductory tutorial was helpful for all experience levels, and the guide spoke perfect English. Loved seeing the various Inca ruins and beautiful landscape. All around an awesome experience - would definitely recommend!
Great experience both with the sites we visited and the tour guide.
