Itinerary
The first part of our excursion takes us over the plains and amongst the cattle. After a short while we reach the edge of the canyon and begin a 40 minute descent to the bottom of the canyon, where we find a winding river named La Virgen which we will cross at several points. The views are truly breathtaking in every direction and the river crossings fun and exciting. Throughout the ride you will have the opportunity to gallop around.
Half-way through the excursion there will be a stop for a short break to do a little bit of hiking and search for quartz filled geodes, or to simply relax along the edge of the river and take some fantastic photographs.
After this rest stop, continue on your trusty steeds up-and-out of the canyon until reaching it's spectacular cliffs. Here you will make a pause on your horse to take some incredible photos. It is also here that you may wish to rappel off the sheer 120 foot-high cliff faces!
For the grand finale the staff back at the ranch will have one of the most delicious organic ranch-style meals that you will ever experience. This authentic meal includes freshly hand-made tortillas, organic cheese, beans, quesadillas, nopales (cactus), rice, salad, guacamole & salsa, fresh fruit among other traditional dishes.
Duration: 4 hours
Location: Coyote Canyon Adventures, Calle Zacateros 54 Colonia Centro, San Miguel de Allende 37700 Mexico

Our family of five loved the horseback riding experience. The horses were calm yet responsive. The trail was beautiful and the view from the top of the cliffs was spectacular. We even got to gallop a few times which was a trip. The meal at the end was sumptuous. The whole afternoon truly exceeded our expectations.
Great morning riding through canyon. Our cowboys made sure we were all comfortable and able to climb the trails. Their instruction was excellent. Lunch a big treat of fresh food and good company. Advise to wear pants as occasional rub up against desert brush and wear shoes you can soak as crossing river bed can get wet.
This tour was even better then I could have imagined. We got to go through one of the most beautiful canyons I have ever seen with real life cowboys! They were wrangling cattle along the way : Our guide, Rodrigo, was the best and made us feel very comfortable. We got to gallop with the horses, something I have never been able to do on a tour before. And overall it was one of the best days on our trips. Highly reccomended
The best most organized tour I have ever been on. Our rancher guide was the best, so organized and proffesional yet fun and personable. He made the entire day a true memorable experience. The horses were well trained and resonded to every command, Just top of the line tour. The best thing too was you were able to gallop on this tour not just trot the entire time. So far the best experience I have had in Mexico thus far in my two weeks into my stay in Mexico. I dont want to get my tour guides name wrong but it started with E.
