Authentic Mexican ranch experience - We are very grateful for this experience and consider it as one of the best experiences during our 12 day stay in Mexico City.
My wife and I went on this full day tour with absolutely zero regrets. Transport was easy as we got picked up at the meeting point and got dropped off at our hostel.
We arrived at the beautiful ranch and had some dinks and snacks before we started the horseback riding. We had a brief introduction on how to handle the horses.
The horses are very well trained and easy to handle. None of us had much experience with horses, but we felt very safe.
Yunoen (the guide) took us on a beautiful and long ride into the nearby mountain area.
The barbecue afterwards was delicious and had everything we could ask for.
It felt for a day like we were a part of the family.

Amazing Day! - What an incredible experience we had at Torres Aventuras Ecuestres! From the moment we arrived, we knew it was going to be an unforgettable day for the whole family.
We started our visit with a delicious meal at their countryside restaurant. Every dish was bursting with authentic flavor, from the appetizers to the dessert. The staff's attention was impeccable, always attentive and smiling, which made us feel right at home.
After lunch, we geared up for our horseback ride. Although the weather started off a bit rainy, we were well-prepared with our rain outfits, and the light drizzle only added a magical touch to the experience. Soon after, the sun broke through the clouds, illuminating the beautiful forest and the Ajusco hills with a golden light. It was simply spectacular.
The horses we rode were extremely well-trained and exuded a warmth that made even my children, who were beginners, feel safe and comfortable. The tranquility and beauty of the surroundings, with the tall trees and the fresh mountain air, created a perfect setting for us to relax and enjoy the moment.
The combination of adventure, nature, and excellent food made our visit truly special. Every family member left with a smile and memories that we will cherish for a long time. If you're looking for a unique and enriching experience, I highly recommend visiting Torres Aventuras Ecuestres. I can't wait to come back!

Not your average trail ride - Yunuen was a gracious, knowledgeable, and generous host for this truly spectacular experience. He was a good communicator leading up to the trip and during as well. We were picked up in Mexico City and driven out to the ranch in the mountains where his family keeps their horses. We drank coffee and had a snacks outside with a nice view of the area. We then practiced riding at his ranch and hit the trail. The horses were well behaved and Yunuen took care to choose appropriate horses for us as individuals with differing riding skills. We rode on a wide trail, so we could be side by side if we wanted. We saw sheep being herded down the trail and passed a few locals along the way. When we returned to the ranch we were served beer and ate a lovely hot lunch prepared right there on the premises. After this, Yunuen and another ranch hand gave a spectacular showing of a Lipizzaner (I believe) stallion dancing with music and all! We could not have asked more of this experience.

Can’t ask for more, would love to go back! - Less than an hour away from the city, we arrived at this beautiful nature calling country side of Mexico’s private horse ranch.
Depends on your experience level, the cowboys will pick a perfect horse to match you. My 70 years old mom had so much fun!! The food was prepared with local flavor, served with wine was a plus. Would definitely recommend this tour. Very relaxing and fun time.

Very beautiful ranch, really cute family, lots of fun - I was nervouse with the horses, but it was still lots of fun. The food was yummy. It was a jourrney of self discovery in a sense. I was lucky to be able to ride the more gentle horse. Have some chronic pain, and the horse knew, even though I 'forget' about it, so she was gentle with me.
