What you'll see and do
Rancho Capomo
The route consists of riding by the river. All participants must descend from their horses to undertake a walk towards the mountain and towards the waterfall. We will cross hanging bridges and climb steps to reach the waterfall. Upon reaching the waterfall will be enough time to cool down in the water of the river. Once reached the waterfall we head for a sloping hill afterwards we go down and in this section is where you have to jog a little. Upon arrival at the ranch there will be a delicious meal, you can enjoy delicious fajitas or chicken with a rich guacamole and Mexican sauce prepared by yourself, handmade tortillas beans and rice. This is the ride you will never forget.

Awesome Day
Awesome experience. The horses were well trained and the fresh food was delicious. They did not skimp on the food or drinks. We took the tour during a cruise stop. My only suggestion is to change the pickup location. It was a long walk particularly when our ship was located on the far end of the dock and customs forces you to go through the duty free shopping area. We took a cab to the pick up location ( 30 min walk from the exit), but the driver dropped us off at the port taxi area.

horse back riding
Overall, it was a very good experience and felt quite exclusive, as there were only two of us in the group. They picked us up in Puerto Vallarta, and our driver/guide was fun to talk to. He was funny and shared stories about his life and everyday life in the Mexican countryside. It was fascinating to learn about some of the local traditions, for example, he told us that people bring a goat to a coffee stand and milk it right there for customers, and we saw it. I wish we stopped at one of those stands to try home made coffee with fresh goat milk. The horseback ride to the waterfall took about 45 minutes. It was enjoyable and pretty much what we expected. The waterfall itself was beautiful, although quite crowded, probably because we visited on a Sunday. When we returned to the ranch, the staff prepared a nice traditional lunch just for the two of us and made sure we had plenty of margaritas. We also did a tasting of homemade tequila and liqueurs. They were very good—the tequila was especially smooth—but we thought the prices were a little high. Around $80 for a bottle of tequila felt like a lot, even though we really enjoyed it. We left $40 in tips: $20 for the cooks and bartender and $20 for our driver/guide. The only minor issue was finding the pickup location. Google Maps initially took us to the wrong place, but the host was very responsive by text and quickly helped us find the correct location. Overall, it was a fun experience and a nice way to spend half day outside Puerto Vallarta.

11/10 experience! A perfect vacation day
This is a 10 out of 10 experience. Booked it from the website without really knowing what it was, but could not be happier about the experience. From Beto picking us up near our hotel. The navigated tour through old town and up the mountains to the horses who were just fabulous to the food and drink and tequila and homemade pico and salsa. It was an absolutely perfect morning. Could not say more positive things about this experience.

Lovely ride and beautiful waterfall!
This was a great experience. The horses where calm and the trail is gorgeous. The waterfall was magnificent. I plan to do this again when I come back next time.

Amazing experience!
Our driver/tour guide was so kind and very funny. The property itself is wonderfully maintained and the tour itself was absolutely amazing. The horses are amazingly trained and you get to ride them to a huge waterfall (the biggest and most beautiful I have ever seen) The food we were served was excellent. 10/10

Horseback Riding Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.
How much does Horseback Riding Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta cost?
+
Prices start at $93 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta 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 Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.
Is Horseback Riding Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 368 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta?
+
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 Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta?
+
Around 129 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 Puerto Vallarta 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 Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horseback Riding Tour in Sierra Madre from Puerto Vallarta 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 Puerto Vallarta 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 Puerto Vallarta?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Taco Adventure Evening Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats. 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 Puerto Vallarta?
+
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 Puerto Vallarta?
+
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.
