A truly incredible experience
This was an all around fantastic experience! The communication with the hosts was clear and consistent from start to finish, and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Breakfast and lunch were absolutely delicious, both prepared by a chef featuring traditional cuisine of that specific area, along with freshly harvested food from their property. Mauricio and the team set us up with our horses and gave a comprehensive lesson for riders of all experience levels. The actual ride was full of beautiful landscapes and wonderful conversation, stacked with amazing photo opportunities along the trail. After returning to the hacienda, we were invited to try plaque made from the harvested cactus on the property, and learned about the history of its origins. To round out our experience we learned more about the rich history of the charras and viewed an extensive collection of beautiful traditional garb passed down from multiple generations in their family. I can’t recommend this experience enough. We will definitely visit again next time we are in Mexico City!

One of my favorite experiences in Mexico so far!
The best experience from start to finish! The horses and all of the other animals seem very well looked after. Miguel is very knowledgeable and great rider which made me feel very comfortable even though I lack riding skills. The landscape is absolutely beautiful and the horses were all really gentle which made for a lovely riding experience. Augustin’s cooking is amazing! I loved everything he made for us. The rooms for overnight stays are absolutely beautiful too and the bed was so comfy! Above all Miguel and Augustin were really kind and accommodating. I would highly recommend this experience :)

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas cost?
+
Prices start at $2,700 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback Riding through Mexican Haciendas start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
