Intipunku Full Day Horseback Tour
This full-day quest to the Sun Gate begins across the ancient Inca Bridge outside of Ollantaytambo winding along the rushing Vilcanota River with Mount Veronica’s peak offering an enticing invitation signaling the direction. The 9km sun baked path narrows while it climbs the slopes of Catchicata, leading past the quarries and tumbs of Incan mummies. The final and steepest portion of the journey is reached by foot, summiting the breathtaking precipice, the sacred space between land and sky where time is eternal and the sun and earth are observed moving in harmony through the gateway. Upon return, there is the option of taking refuge in a cove where refreshing spring waters offer a place to relax and cool from the sun’s fervor.
