We had an amazing time with Yunuen at the beautiful ranch where his family’s horses live, nestled in the mountains of Mexico City. The excursion was the highlight of our trip and a fabulous way to experience an authentic part of Mexico while spending time outside of the city and in nature. Yunuen was very communicative throughout, from the moment of initial booking to the very end, when he kindly sent my husband and I pictures from the day. The lunch was *delicious* (and served in addition to the wonderful snacks we were served upon arrival). The horses were lovely and docile. Very easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this excursion with Yunuen and Torres Aventuras! 5+ stars!! Muchas gracias!

Not your average trail ride

Madeline_H, Apr 2024

Yunuen was a gracious, knowledgeable, and generous host for this truly spectacular experience. He was a good communicator leading up to the trip and during as well. We were picked up in Mexico City and driven out to the ranch in the mountains where his family keeps their horses. We drank coffee and had a snacks outside with a nice view of the area. We then practiced riding at his ranch and hit the trail. The horses were well behaved and Yunuen took care to choose appropriate horses for us as individuals with differing riding skills. We rode on a wide trail, so we could be side by side if we wanted. We saw sheep being herded down the trail and passed a few locals along the way. When we returned to the ranch we were served beer and ate a lovely hot lunch prepared right there on the premises. After this, Yunuen and another ranch hand gave a spectacular showing of a Lipizzaner (I believe) stallion dancing with music and all! We could not have asked more of this experience.

Can’t ask for more, would love to go back!

Less than an hour away from the city, we arrived at this beautiful nature calling country side of Mexico’s private horse ranch. Depends on your experience level, the cowboys will pick a perfect horse to match you. My 70 years old mom had so much fun!! The food was prepared with local flavor, served with wine was a plus. Would definitely recommend this tour. Very relaxing and fun time.

Very beautiful ranch, really cute family, lots of fun

Komal_K, Mar 2024

I was nervouse with the horses, but it was still lots of fun. The food was yummy. It was a jourrney of self discovery in a sense. I was lucky to be able to ride the more gentle horse. Have some chronic pain, and the horse knew, even though I 'forget' about it, so she was gentle with me.

A must do

Shannon_K, Feb 2024

One of my favorite tour experiences ever, this is a must-do. It was so nice to escape the city and ride horses through the beautiful landscape. The ranch is breathtaking and the tour guide was very kind, conversational and friendly. The food that they served was exceptional, and the tables where you eat on the ranch had an incredible view. The horses were very well trained and easy to ride. It was about an hour car ride to get there which is not bad at all, considering you feel like you're in a totally different part of mexico. I went alone but met friendly locals at the lunch afterward and had great conversation. The wine flowed, the music was on point, and we even got a little show by the horse trainers. I think this is a great trip for groups of friends, solo, or couples.

A wonderful day!

Susie_G, Dec 2023

I spent a delightful day with Francisco who was a very friendly, attentive and entertaining host, which I greatly appreciated as a solo female traveler. Everything was terrific from the communication and hospitality to the horse riding and the delicious food, drinks and company. Every detail was taken care of so all I had to do was relax and enjoy the day! 5 stars.

Fun adventure

Irvin_S, Jul 2023

It was fun. It felt good to connect with and finally ride a horse. The view was scenic and the instructor was good at his job. A highlight of my trip for sure

AMAZING!! A must-do experience!

Amanda_L, Jul 2023

Yunuen is a wonderful tour guide and speaks great English! He and his teammates were so kind, and he communicated with me through WhatApp so well. I was traveling by myself and as a solo female, I was concerned to go by myself…but there was absolutely NOTHING to worry about. Yunuen picked me up from the meeting point in Mexico City and walked me through the whole process clearly. The drive was about an hour out of the city (be patient with traffic!). We had a snack at the ranch, he let me practice with their mare, and then we were off riding up the trail. I’m a city girl, a beginner horse rider, and a naturally clumsy person…but the mares were so gentle and calm. Dogs barked and cars drove by, and the horses weren’t fazed at ALL. The nature and mountains are gorgeous, and I learned so much for Yunuen! We had lunch at the ranch after and it was delicious. Their were sweet kids and dogs on the ranch, and with my VERY limited Spanish, I was able to interact with them because they were so patient and welcoming! If you come with an open mind and you don’t have any major injuries (I have a bad knee and I was still fine!), then I highly recommend this tour! You’re supporting a local person who owns the ranch and makes sure the horses are happy. Even if you change your mind and don’t want to ride the horses, just hanging out at the ranch and being able to pet them is therapeutic. It’s such an intimate and unique experience that I would do it again in a heartbeat! This is unlike any other touristy trip you’ll do in the city - you won’t regret it. ¡Muchas gracias, Yunuen!

Wonderful Riding Experience

Jennie_S, Jul 2023

My husband and I had a wonderful time with Yunen on this experience. My husband has had little experience riding while I am an intermediate rider, and Yunen was able to accommodate both of us. The horses are well taken care of and a joy to ride. The property is magical and we had excellent food when we arrived and after we rode. I would highly recommend this experience! It was a highlight of our trip to Mexico City.

Lovely day out in Ajusco

Elizabeth_H, Jun 2023

We had an absolutely stunning day out here with the Torres group. Our tour ended up being private as only our group had booked for that day, and we definitely got VIP treatment! Amazing food and drinks all around, and they were able to accomodate vegetarian diet restrictions for my dad. We had a lovely trail ride, and got to learn all about the horses and the ranch. It's a family owned and run place, just amazing.

Beautiful experience!

Randy_S, May 2023

We loved our time with Yunuen at his family's ranch. It was a wonderful day from start to finish, with tasty quesadillas upon arrival and a delicious lunch after the ride. The horses are beautiful and very user friendly, I was comfortable enough to trot a bit at the end! A bonus was hanging out with Yunuen's ADORABLE son, Killian - he was really a highlight of our time. Definitely recommend this.

We had a wonderful time with a small group riding horses in the country with Yunus! All of us were beginner riders and had no trouble managing the horses.

An incredible way to explore outside Mexico City

Dominique_d, Feb 2023

I have been riding for most of my life but despite not being a naturally confident rider, Yunuen made sure I had loads of fun while still feeling safe on his beautifully trained horses. The hot lunch afterwards rivalled a meal I had the day before at an expensive steak restaurant. I felt very spoilt! Quite embarrassingly, I was unwell after my ride - due only to my own health issues. While I certainly don’t condone making Yunuen a stand-in medical caretaker, I’m incredibly grateful for his kindness and compassion. Thanks again Yunuen. In spite of all this, I still managed to have a fantastic day! Yunuen and his colleagues went above and beyond to make this a very enjoyable and one-of-a-kind experience. I will remember this tour as my favourite memory of Mexico City and will be recommending this ride to my horse riding friends back in the U.K.

Riding up the into the beautiful forest trails.

Joyce_P, Jan 2023

A beautiful comfortable day. Picked up at meeting point on time and greeted by Yunie. Great English and so friendly and excited for the adventure. Joined by two other guests in vehicle as we rode up the hills and up and up. We arrived at the top of the mountain to a small ranch with a picnic table set with snacks, drinks and attention. Then we were given a hat to wear, met the horses, and went off into the the blue sky and trails in the Mountain Park. Fantastic experience. Good amount of time to ride with safety at time of mind. What a great experience. The food so yummy and the drinks plenty. Bathroom facilities. it was hard to say adios. Our small group of 3 guests loved the whole experience. We all wanted to stay even longer. Don't skip this. It is truly awesome and fun! The horses very calm-mares.

Beautiful Views and Great Food

CaitlynLivingston, Dec 2022

This experience was truly enjoyable. I had such a great time riding horses and taking in the mountain view. The drive out of the city is a great way to see different parts of Mexico City if you're staying in the city center. The best part, hands down, is the food. This was some of the best food I had on my whole trip. I highly recommend!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thanks so much, guys! It was really nice to meet you all. Happy new year!!

Best part of our trip!

Heidi_E, Oct 2022

Great day

Mike_B, Jun 2022

Great day outside the city. The host are great and very friendly. On time pickup from the hotel and we’re greeted by the dogs upon arrival. Horseback riding was great and they served us a great lunch afterwards with wine. Highly recommend this tour.

Splendid Cultural Ranch Experience!

Chris_O, May 2022

Yuni was a great tour guide and horse wrangler. He went through all safety features based on each riders experience and checked on us throughout the ride. The scenery was majestic and the experience was such a cultural pleasure. The meal and drinks afterwards were home cooked and delightful as were the family staff preparing them. Fantastic tour and overall experience and I recommend highly!
