The hilly, nearby jungle and long stretches of shoreline has made Horseback riding a favorite activity since Liz and Dick made "Night of the Iguana". A variety of tours are available featuring visits to mango orchards, cattle ranches and farmland, small rural villages, and a river where clients can swim. On Sundays, horseback rides include a trip to a typical Mexican rodeo. Longer trips, up to five days on horseback are offered for small groups into the Sierra Madre mountains and with visits to sites including the old mining town of San Sebastian del Oeste.

Rancho Santa Luc'a Horseback Tour

Private transportation from your hotel to St. Lucia sierra ranch, where restrooms, refreshments and resting areas are available by our natural pool in the river. Here our guided excursion through the sierra's rainforest begins through the widest variety of tropical plants accompanied by the jungle sounds of birds and crickets and a visit to a waterfall in the middle of it all. Time for a fresh bath and relaxation. There is lunch included back at the ranch as well as time to leisurely enjoy the unspoiled environment surrounding our natural rivel pool.
