Tour guide was very friendly. One of the best tours I have ever taken. Do not skip this experience I highly recommend.
It was an amazing experience from pickup to drop-off. As two women traveling alone, my mother and I felt completely safe the entire time. Willy and Carlos were incredible tour guides who treated us like family from the moment we met them. If you’re looking to experience Mexico’s countryside in the most authentic way possible, I highly recommend this tour. These two gentlemen went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Not once did we feel unsafe, uncomfortable, or anything less than welcomed. Thank you, Willy and Carlos, for your kindness, professionalism, and hospitality. You truly made this trip special. 🇲🇽❤️
Great tour to an uncrowded place. Our group was alone at the hot springs and could fully enjoy this magical place.
The horses were beautifully trained, good for beginners, and the guy leading us was friendly via non-verbal communication, very chilled. The landscape we travelled through was beautiful, too. The hot springs were lovely, most hotter than we could manage! Incredible natural heat, very exciting. I've given three stars purely because we didn't get some of what we paid for and when I contacted Willy at Experientias Nativas to find out what happened we never heard back. So it's more of a flag to check the package: no English guide, tortilla-making or mezcal-tasting, which we had been really looking forward to. But the horse riding and hot springs are a must if you are in the area!
An extraordinary experience. Make sure you wear sunblock and if you forget a hat, they have some there you can use. Make sure you pack water and snacks because none is provided. Be aware that if you dye your hair and you dip your head in the water it does strip your color. It also tarnishes some silver. My stainless steel & gold did fine tho.
This event was a total disaster. No one contacted me the day before, and instead I got a phone call before 8 am saying there was a community event and they needed to reschedule the trip until 3 pm same day. I rearranged my entire day (staying this day in Puerto precisely for this event), and was ready to go when I got another call at 2:10 pm canceling the excursion. Had they had the courtesy to cancel in the morning my hotel could have arranged another trip, but because they canceled at the last minute I wasted an entire day. I can't say enough about the unprofessional behavior of the tour leaders.
The ride to the hot springs is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. I do wish the guide offered more explanation, guidance with the horses by leading us and more history of the springs but the hot springs themselves are very relaxing, well preserved and there is a river alongside of them if they feel too hot for you. Overall would highly recommend it’s a unique and beautiful experience!
great tour! Logistics, friendly guide, tame horses, beautiful nature, definitely recommend for a different type of activity!
This was an amazing really experience but 100% as detailed in the experience. We did ride horses to and from the hot springs but didn’t learn about the culture of the village. Our guide pilo/pilar was lovely but dint speak English (I had selected an English guide) which was a bit daunting when none of us had ridden a horse in a while. The horses were really well trained and the country side was beautiful. I’m really glad we did this experience but may not be for everyone
This was one of the times of our lives.. the beauty of the trail was breathtaking, the horses were serene, the hot springs and the history of the Chatinos spiritual baths our guide told us about was spell bounding. Absolutely magical.
