This was one of the highlights of my trip to Mexico. The hacienda was absolutely beautiful, and the horseback ride through the countryside was unforgettable. Miguel was an exceptional guide. His passion and knowledge really brought the experience to life as he shared the fascinating history of Mexican cowboys and the traditions of the hacienda. It was much more than just a horse ride—it was an opportunity to learn about the culture and heritage of the region. A special thank you as well to Caesar and Ana, who were both incredibly helpful and made the experience so enjoyable from start to finish. I had the pleasure of riding Aragon, who was well-trained, and a joy to ride. I have some riding experience so I was able to go faster and boy was that fun. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching day in Mexico.

One of the best experiences of my life! Miguel and his family gave me a super warm welcome. We start with a delicious breakfast, then we ride through the mountains on very noble and calm horses. We wrapped things up with a spectacular lunch. Thank you very much to Miguel and his family for everything. And to my adventure companions, David and Óscar, best wishes. I wish we meet again.
