I came to Puerto Vallarta over 50 years ago for a visit and I am still here! Did I date myself? I did!

Remembering what it was like to be a tourist in Puerto Vallarta I have a pretty good idea of what you would want on your horseback ride. I know you don t want to waste your vacation time on a long bus ride to the ranch but you do want to ride in a beautiful and tranquil area and get a good look at the jungle on a healthy well mannered horse. Right? So I’ve located Rancho El Charro in a charming untouched village just 15 minutes from the hotel zone.

Very little has changed in this hidden corner of rural Puerto Vallarta. The old timers here in the village say it s just about the same a 80 years ago! You’ll meet these people and see their rustic homes surrounded by the majestic jungle foothills.

Your guides are friendly experienced wranglers and love to share their knowledge of the historic village, tropical plants and wildlife you’ll encounter.

Loving to ride and explore on horseback I know you’ll enjoy having a variety of trails to choose from. We offer 3-hour, 5-hour, overnight, all-day rides and 3- to 7-day all-inclusive horseback vacation rides to a historic gold and silver mining town dating from 1602, a crater lake high in the Sierra Madre mountains, and much much more!
