Awesome day exploring the canyon! - We had an amazing day on the tour. Pickup location was easy to find and it’s a short 30 minute drive to the ranch. We did the 12pm departure so lunch was provided first, with beer for purchase. The lunch was delicious and there was plenty, we were stuffed. The ride itself was beautiful and our cowboys were awesome. Bonus dog companions follow you the whole way which we loved. Would highly recommend for an afternoon, only way to see the sights of this canyon! Long pants definitely a must as you are going through narrow paths with lots of prickly bushes.

A thrilling experience in the wilds of Guanajuato region - "Adventure" is an accurate term for the experience. The horses are well behaved and move at a brisk pace, we covered a lot of terrain on our nearly 3 hour ride. We started at a bottom of a canyon and climbed all the way up to the top of one side, and then all the way down, quite steeply at some places. There are also parts at the beginning and end when the horses travel through the stream and my lower pants and shoes got quite wet, so just watch out for that. My favourite aspect of the experience were the 5 dogs that accompanied us the whole way, sometimes behind, sometimes along, sometimes ahead, and just wandering and exploring all over. They seemed to have a very familial relationship with the horses. We saw a rattlesnake, a frog, lizards, many birds, spiders, a group of wild cows from afar, goats, some other dogs, and a whole lot of cacti. I went with the most well reviewed horseback tour on trip advisor for the SMA region, and I was not disappointed, 5 green blobs out of 5.

Best day of the vacation for adventure lovers - Epic doesn’t even begin to do this justice! This isn’t your average horse trail - this is a technical and amazingly adventurous ride! We went rappelling in the middle of the ride and it was one for the books!! All the cowboys and main cowgirl June made everything perfect!

25 years without riding a horse - Without a doubt the half day ride is one of the most exciting experiences I have ever lived. He had not ridden a horse for at least 25 years, so you will understand that the experience was memorable. The landscapes are amazing. I didn't know about the bass! It’s perfect for all ages, so it doesn’t matter if your kids still don’t walk. Likewise, consider that the weather, as well as multiple river crossings, can make a change of additional clothes not a crazy idea. Enjoy it very much!
