One horse per rider, matched to your size and experience, on trails along the river and up the mountain — across hanging bridges to a hidden waterfall. Lunch with open bar at the ranch afterwards.
Book on WhatsAppOur horseback rides happen at Rancho Capomo, a working ranch in the Sierra Madre above Las Palmas de Arriba. You get your own horse, matched to your size and experience, and the wranglers ride with you along the river, up the mountain and across hanging bridges to a waterfall you can swim in. Back at the ranch there's a cooking class and lunch with open bar.
Pro Tip
Long pants and closed shoes make the ride far more comfortable, and a hat that ties on stays put on the trail. If you've never ridden before, say so when you book — the ranch will give you its calmest horse.
