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.

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

One of the BEST experiences we had in Puerto Vallarta!
One of the BEST experiences we had in Puerto Vallarta! If you're on the fence about booking—DO IT. This tour ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. It was just my 11-year-old daughter and me, so safety was my number one priority. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, the entire staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe every step of the way. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests and take pride in what they do. We had a small group of only four people, which made the experience feel personal rather than rushed or crowded. The horseback ride itself was amazing—about 30–45 minutes each way through the beautiful Sierra Madre mountains to a stunning waterfall. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and the horses were calm, well cared for, and perfect for riders of different experience levels. We definitely got our money's worth. Between the horseback ride, swimming at the waterfall, crossing rivers, the delicious authentic Mexican lunch, and the warm hospitality, it was an unforgettable day. If you've ever dreamed of a Yellowstone-style horseback adventure, but with a tropical Puerto Vallarta twist, this is it! Even better, you're supporting a local, family-owned business that truly deserves every bit of recognition. Thank you, Rancho Capomo Tours, for giving my daughter and me memories we'll cherish forever. We will absolutely be back and will recommend you to everyone visiting Puerto Vallarta! ❤️🐎🌿🇲🇽

Horses and Butterflies
This place was amazing. The ride through the river was gorgeous. Butterflies all over the place. We were a huge group of 18 and the horses were so calm and tolerant. After an hour we walked up a little hill for 10 mins and got to a waterfall. Gorgeous. Then rode back and had the most amazing lunch. Also had tequila tasting which was very good.

My son and I took this...
My son and I took this tour on our summer vacation. Riding along the river was magical with butterflies everywhere. The horses were well cared for and easy for beginner riders. My adult son and I had an amazing time. All of the hosts were lovey and the food was delicious. We are vegetarian and they were very accommodating. The hike to the waterfall was strenuous but not too long. This was money well spent for us. It was a highlight of our trip.

Unique and Unforgettable
The best excursion to finish my Puerto Vallarta trip in June 2026, what a memorable experience! This is an amazing choice for someone who loves nature, the quietness without city buzz, hiking, and horses of course. Beto was a very friendly tour guide and the ranch staff were all great. Loved the views and would do this again in a heartbeat. Perfect for solo travellers like myself, but I imagine this would be so much fun with family as well! 100/10

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
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 $103 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 364 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 127 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, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave Cocktails. 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.
