Additional Information

When you first set foot at our location, a bonafide charro from Jalisco will greet you, escorting you on a journey we’ve named ‘Entre Charros’ (Among Charros).

You’ll get to explore our heritage museum, often referred to as the Cathedral of Charrería, garnering insights about the history and evolution of horsemanship in Mexico and beyond.

We’ll make a stop at the stables, where you’ll gain knowledge about the Quarter Horse, their maintenance, the equipment used in their care and in managing the livestock.

We’ll delve into the art of lassoing, introducing you to its uses and techniques, thereby ushering you into the world of charros.

Ultimately, donning a charro hat, you’ll get the opportunity to ride a horse. We’ll provide basic guidelines for practical communication with the horse.

The climax of the experience is the closing celebration where we’ll raise a glass of fine tequila in toast, basking in the harmonious melodies of mariachi music and the songs of the charrería.

Embrace the world of ‘Entre Charros.’

Don’t miss out. - I went on this tour on my own and it was a wonderful experience. My guide was very well versed on the history and was very knowledgeable as a Charro. He was also very kind and took plenty of pictures to document the day! I rode a horse that was so sweet. Sampled some tequila while he sang, he is talented. Wish I had time to stay for a Sunday show! Would 10/10 do this again.

Unique excursion - This was a great 1/2 day excursion. We wanted to do something different and this was perfect. We learned a lot about the charro (and Mexican) culture. The guide, Jorge, was fantastic. He was a great teacher of all things charro. The roping was hilarious and the horses gentle. Jorge even treated us to his amazing voice. Highly recommend.

Charros de Jalisco must visit - What an amazing experience. If you are looking to expand your knowledge of Charreria. This is a must when visiting Guadalajara. Not only will you learn about the history of Charererria , The prestige of being an hombre a caballo (charro). The exquisite details of the traje de charro. You will also get to practice what you learn, which consists of learning how to properly coil the rope back up, The proper technique and stance on how to rope a bull. As the tour culminates, you get a treat of tequila at the end of the tour with an explanation which consist of the proper etiquette of drinking and savoring this majestic drink. You also get another special treat which I will not disclose, but trust you will not be disappointed. That treat is the icing of the tour and a super special super moment.

A journey to the beginning of one of our strongest traditions - A very nice project, this is where what we have all heard at some point that there is strength in numbers is really reflected. I hope that this project goes very well and that it is made known every day to more people who want to know a little more about our cultural roots such as charrería, I think it arrived just in time to remind the new generations of the beginnings of regional Mexican music.

You have to go! - It was an amazing experience, we learned about the incredible history of charros. Our tour guide Jorge Torres was not just a knowledgeable charro himself but also an accomplished singer. After teaching us how to mount and ride their beautiful horses, he sung and played his guitar for us. It was all in all, an unforgettable experience. If you love culture, history and music then this is a must!
