This half-day horseback riding adventure around San Miguel de Allende invites you to explore a series of cattle ranches west of the city. The region’s main canyon, the Cañada de la Virgen / Coyote Canyon, runs through the area you cross, offering extraordinary scenery in all directions. The setting is perfect for leaving the historic centre and discovering a more rural, mineral and quiet Mexico.

The excursion lasts about 5 hours in total from San Miguel and includes instruction, a lesson, about 2.5 hours of actual riding with rest stops, plus a delicious ranch-style meal prepared after the ride, at one of the property’s casitas. The horses are tame and suitable for beginners, with several opportunities to gallop for those who wish. An experience that is both active and contemplative, ideal for travellers seeking authenticity.
