Day 2: Ajusco Surroundings

On your first riding day at the Ranch, we will take you up the hills surrounding the Ranch from where you can see the small town of Ajusco. This ride is about 3 hours long and it is the perfect opportunity to get to know your horse better. After a delicious lunch at the Ranch we will take you inside the crater of the nearest volcano called “El Arenal”. During this ride in the evening you will have an open view to the enormous Mexico City during sunset. Enjoy and relax at the Ranch at night and prepare for the next day’s ride!

Day 3: To the Virgin of the Mountain

The beauty of the San Nicolas Totolapan Ejidal Park lies in its diversity. With around 2,300 ha of extension is a haven for impressive variety of flora and fauna. You will love its forest environment, full of pines, oyamel firs and moss which providing shade and freshness even on the warm days. 

This ride starts from "Las Llantas" where the horses will be waiting for us at 10 am. The ride to the Virgin of the Mountain, a religious image carved into the face of giant rock, takes around 3 hours. From spectacular viewpoints by the road you can enjoy a wonderful view to the Ajusco - Chichinautzin Mountain Range.

Day 4: El Capulín Hidden Village and Wild Horses

Now that you got a feeling on the horses and got to do some shorter trails, you should be ready for a half-day in the saddle! Today we will take you to a 5-hour-trail to a hidden village called Capulín, where you will have the opportunity to purchase locally prepared beverage called “Conejo” or maybe just an ice-cold “cerveza”. This beautiful village has only about 300 habitants and the nearest city is about 2-hour drive away and if we are lucky, there is a possibility to spot a herd of wild horses on our way.

Continue your evening as you relax and unwind in the comfort jacuzzi and steam room, there in no better way to recover from a long ride.
