I was so nervous to ride since I’m completely inexperienced but they made it not only enjoyable but one of the best experiences of my life. The scenery is beautiful the lunch is delicious.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 45 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $171

Ride for about two hours from Coyote Canyon Adventures through San Miguel de Allende, Benito Juarez Park, residential streets, and scenic viewpoints.

“Had such an amazing time with Pollo! A beautiful ride up a hill to the cross with an amazing view. Then down through the city. Dinner wasnt good at all but after that horse back ride, I didn't care how good dinner was. Wish we could have rode the horses back to the stables instead of that dinner and taking a cab home but I Would definitely recommend!”
