Excursion d'une demi-journée - Aventure à cheval à SMA

We had an amazing time with Tomás and his family! He picked us up on time and brought us up to his ranch where we met his family and his animals. We set off on a wonderful horse ride ascending steep beautiful greenery on wonderfully trained horses with full western tack. Tomás and his team kept us laughing the entire time. The women of the ranch made cheese which was delicious as well! We had nearly 3 hours of scenic riding and an amazing crew. This was truly the highlight of our TRIP!

Most amazing day with Tomas and his horses . My daughter and I had quite an adventure in the BEST way. We rode on mountainsides , thru a stream and enjoyed the beautiful ranch trails . The horses were most amazing , so sure footed , you could just enjoy the ride . Tomas and his nephews made it fun as well as educational . We would go AGAIN and AGAIN ! You will be in great hands and get to enjoy some amazing food either way homemade cheese - couldn’t ask for more !

This was a great, once in a lifetime adventure. We are first time riders and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The horses were wonderful and easy. The trail was spectacular & view was amazing. Age group was 5 years old to 60 (we were the old ones). It was about a 4 hour ride through the country with a break halfway for beer and snacks. At the end of the day they provided a fabulous dinner. The only downside is our butts are still sore.

My family of four chose this excursion because not only would we get to ride horses, we would also get to see a working ranch. I’m so glad we went this route because Tomas and his family made this experience so memorable. The ride had stunning views and adventurous moments. At the end, Tomas’ family cooked dinner for our group. This meal was one of the best of our entire trip with some of the most beautiful views of our trip. From beginning to end, the whole experience felt very curated and personal.

AMAZING! Galloping on the horses in the open range along the river was fabulous and exhilarating! So happy I did it; great memory! I'm grateful they were able to accommodate me last minute. The door to door service was great and the service was good.

Going to Rancho Xotolar was the highlight of my trip. From the friendly guides and the great, authentic food, everything was top notch. I originally thought it would be for more experienced riders, but its best for anyone! The length of visit was also very good, and it was very fairly priced. The atmosphere was amazing, and it felt like we were in the pony express, walking through terrain!

Our day at Rancho Xotolar was easily one of the highlights of our time in San Miguel de Allende. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with the kind of genuine warmth and hospitality that makes you feel instantly like part of the family. The entire excursion was flawlessly coordinated. The trail ride itself was spectacular, taking us through breathtaking, ruggedly beautiful landscapes that show you a whole different side of the region. The horses were clearly well-loved, gentle, and highly responsive. A massive thank you to the owner, Tomas, and to Leo and Felix, and all members of their kind and capable family, who went above and beyond to make sure our ride and ranch tour were safe, fascinating, and incredibly fun. Learning about the history and daily life of the ranch directly from them made the experience so much more meaningful. To top it all off, we were treated to a phenomenal, fresh, home-cooked lunch prepared right there at the ranch. If you want an authentic, breathtaking adventure rooted in deep family tradition and hospitality, do not miss Rancho Xotolar. We cannot recommend them highly enough and hope to return for another unique experience one day!

Okay My experience was fantastic I own and ride horses and the horses at Xotolar were ready to go and well cared for. Galloping through the Arroyo was the highlight Tomas and Felix and Alejandro were wonderful hosts So much laughing for 3 hours !!!!!!!!!!

I can't recommend this experience highly enough! The farm is entirely family-run, and you feel it in every detail. From start to finish, everything was seamless: they picked us up directly from our Airbnb in San Miguel, led us on a wonderful trail ride, and finished the afternoon with a delicious home-cooked meal served in a stunning setting overlooking the farm. Our group spanned all ability levels - competitive riders and complete beginners alike - and somehow the trail was exciting and comfortable for everyone. That's no small feat! If you're looking for an authentic, well-organized, and truly memorable experience, look no further.

We spent last Friday at Xotolar Ranch and it was the experience of a life time. Tomas and his son Tomas picked the 4 of us up from our airbnb right on time. Everyone at the ranch was extremely friendly and welcoming. We started by milking cows and watching his sister start the cheese making process. None of us had ever been horseback riding. Tomas and his family gave us great instructions. The views were breath taking. Tomas Jr. took pictures and videos our entire ride. Halfway through we stopped at a tiny convenient store where the owner was so kind. We had some cervas and got back to riding. We had an amazing authentic lunch made by Tomas's sister. We headed back to town around 2:30pm. This adventure was one of the highlights of our trip. We can't wait to come back. It was the trip of a lifetime!
