Cabalgata in Guanajuato! - A very pleasant horseback ride in the company of Señor Cruz, my guide. Discovering the beautiful landscapes of Guanajuato and its mountains and more particularly here the CERRO DEL SOMBRERO! I highly recommend! Importantly, the horses are in excellent health, well treated, well fed and above all well trained. Long live Guanajuato!

I already want to repeat it! - This equestrian experience was an incredible adventure and a very enjoyable experience to experience as a family. The guide was very attentive and before starting they taught us how to ride the horse, so we were able to ride safely and have a very fun day.

A great adventure -- even for new riders - We enjoyed our ride with Cruz immensely. Neither of us is an experienced rider but the horses were gentle and easy to handle (though my mount, Pompeyo, was occasionally a bit spirited and wanted to pull off to the side to munch some leaves. A nice little challenge for me to steer him back on course!) The scenery was spectacular and Cruz was an excellent guide. You do need at least one Spanish speaker in your group, but the explanations about how to mount and control the horses are very brief and simple. (Mostly Cruz trusts his guess not to be idiots!) The delicious homemade popsicles were a treat, as was the nice cold brew, enjoyed horseback, to celebrate the end of the ride!

Recommended scenic horse ride. - Beautiful, well-trained horses and skilled, amiable guide. Nice ride with beautiful view of the city. It was great to include stops in local village to support economy in a small way. Felt perfectly safe, comfortable & had a great ride.

The best horseback tour I've ever been on! - My husband and I had THE BEST experience on this tour! It was seriously the best horseback tour I've ever been on. Our guides were fantastic, very considerate and attentive. We rode for about 2.5 hours through villages and beautiful open range countryside all the way to the top of El Cerro de La Bufa for incredible panoramic views looking down over Guanajuato. On the way down we stopped at a small village tienda for drinks and popsicles. Our horses were the most well trained horses I've ever ridden! They listened to every little cue and were totally bombproof on the trail even when we encountered vehicles and loose dogs. You could tell they were loved and very well taken care of. If we return to Guanajuato I would book this tour again!

Great scenario, good tour for first time horse riders. - We were picked up at our hotel no problem. We had no idea how to ride horses but after a quick lesson we hit the trail and things went pretty smoothly. Once we got comfortable with the horses and out into the mountains it was really nice. Great scenery. Cruz was an excellent guide and helped us get some great pictures. I would highly recommend it.

Best Day Ever - Fabulous experience! Loved every moment. Our driver, fellow riders and our guide were helpful, friendly, safety conscious and knowledgeable. The ranch was gorgeous, the horses well trained and groomed and tack was well cared for. The views on our ride were spectacular. And a great little popsicle snack snd beverage on our return. Lots of photos and videos were taken. I loved everything about my week in Guanajuato but today was “the best day ever”! Thank you

A Spectacular View of Guanajuato from Horse Back - Everything went smoothly. Raul, who drove us to the ranch, was right on time. Cruz, our guide for the horses, gave us the instructions and we were off. We enjoyed riding through the small village and the countryside. The views of Guanajuato are spectacular. Cruz has worked the horses himself and they are sure footed and seemed to be healthy. None of us are regular horse riders. So glad we decided to go on this equestrian adventure.
