This riding experience was awesome! Our guide was very attentive and spoke English very well. He shared local information about the culture and San Pedro. Highly recommend!
Beautiful horses! I’ve been riding horses for years, but, as Jose explained, these horses are a mix of Spanish and Peruvian and bred to move fast. They are very smooth. They have that special prance that is way smoother than a trot. My mare was named Mariposa. And she is the best horse I’ve ever ridden. None of the Horses in our group ever did that slow lazy walk. I was surprised at how spirited and fun they were.
Hello ! We are so happy to know You had a beatiful horses and a good tour. Thanks alot for recommended us and took your time to share your experiencie
This was a great experience. Our guide got us a tuc tuc from the park to the horses and he was on time and ready to go. You walk through town for a little bit and then you head up to a trail to an amazing view of the lake. On the way back you walk along the beach and it is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this.
Hello ! We are so happy to know you had a BEATIFUL RIDE AND GOOD TOUR Thanks alot for recommended us and took your time to share your experiencie
It was fun!!! The horses know where they’re going, and sometimes they’ll gallop ahead of the group. But it’s not really concerning. Definitely beginner friendly. Wear boots preferably or at least sneakers/something closed toed. The guides are friendly and helpful, but do give direct instructions throughout the ride. It’s a ride through the city with other people and cars on the path, so they have to ensure the safety of the animals and riders. I would definitely do it again.
hello! Thanks for recommended us and we are so happy that you enjoyed your time. Thanks
Nice your in the street. Coordination to find the departure could be better… we walked upstairs to the announced parqueo hermosa vista but nobody there and even « worst » they told us that a tuktuk was waiting on us at the port… we came with a small boat (easiest way to travel at Lago Atitlán). All rest was great… horses are doing this way every days but they are in good shape. On the way back to the ranch, they accelerated the allure but nothing to be afraid of… Great tour of 2 hours for small money.
Hello ! We really apreciate your advices we will take it in account and we really sorry the misunderstanding but we are so happy to know you had a Great Experiencie. Your opinión it’s very important ! We hope see you in a tour more !
This was the most wonderful activity during our stay at Lake Atitlan. We had an incredible scenic ride through the village streets, volcanic farms and lakeside hills. We were galloping on the streets and catching our breath at the beauty of the vantage points our guide took us to. The horses were so well-loved and our guide chiko and the horse caretaker Jose were the most wonderful, warm people you could ask for. An unforgettable experience through different terrains and definitely worth the price.
Hello! There We are so happy you had an unforgettable experiencie and we really apreciate for sharing your experiencie with our guides José and Francisco we hope some day we could guide you again.
Amazing experience! Only my 2nd time riding a horse, partner’s 5th and they were perfect. Knew the drill, followed our guide, and we were able to have great conversation/views and were even galloping by the end. Only thing that may confuse people is you meet a tuk tuk driver that takes you to the ranch for free, and that’s where the excursion starts. Can easily call the phone number if you can’t locate them near the central park meeting spot.

My wife, five children (ages 9-17) and I went on this horseback ride and we loved it! It was for several of us our first time riding. The man leading the tour spoke excellent English. They also took pictures and videos of us and sent them to us. I would recommend this trip to just about anyone.
Hello ! We are so happy to know that all your family loved the horse tour in San Pedro also we really apreciate it for recommended us . We hope some day lead you in a tour moren.
This experience was a great way to see a large portion of Lake Atitlán without being stuck on a bus or relying on a ferry. The horses come from a family‑owned farm, and it’s clear the family genuinely cares for them. The rising instructor was excellent; however, the person coordinating the ride to the farm was a bit unorganized. We waited about 20 minutes to meet him, only to walk five minutes to another spot and then take a Tuk‑Tuk to the farm, an area that turned out to be within walking distance. The whole wait and confusing pickup situation could have been avoided if we’d simply been given the farm’s address from the start.
