About this experience
What truly sets the Don Jacinto Horseback Riding Experiences apart is the chance to live tequila country from the inside, not as a spectator but as part of the landscape. Each ride takes you through real agave fields along traditional rural paths, where time slows down and the connection to the land feels genuine.
From light and relaxed rides to extended journeys that include local food, cantaritos, tequila tasting, sunset views, and even a visit to the Santa Quiteria archaeological site, every option is designed to match a different way of experiencing the agave region. Whether you choose a short scenic ride, a golden-hour experience, or a full day living like a local farm worker, these experiences go beyond horseback riding.
Guided by locals, surrounded by agaves, and complemented with regional flavors and traditions, this is an authentic immersion into Jalisco’s rural life—peaceful, flavorful, and unforgettable.
