Description
Explore the beauty of Oaxaca on a horseback riding tour. Ride through traditional villages, scenic countryside, and hidden trails with a local guide.
Experience the authentic beauty of Oaxaca on the Real Oaxaca Full Day Ride, a horseback adventure that combines culture, nature, and tradition. Your journey begins with a comfortable transfer from Oaxaca’s historic center to the countryside, where your horse will be waiting. Over the course of approximately four hours of riding, you’ll travel through diverse and stunning landscapes—passing through ancient cactus forests, fields of alfalfa farmed by horse-drawn carts, and aromatic woodlands filled with yucca and bursera trees. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views of the Sierra Juárez mountains, spot colorful birds, and immerse yourself in the timeless rhythm of rural Oaxaca.
This ride offers options for all levels of experience: whether you prefer a relaxed pace or more spirited riding, your guide will tailor the route to your comfort. An optional highlight of the trip includes a visit to a majestic 2,000-year-old bald cypress tree, one of Oaxaca’s natural treasures. Throughout the day, you’ll take breaks to stretch, rehydrate with cold water and refreshments, and enjoy light snacks.
