Horseback riding in Puerto Vallarta is a blast! You can rent horses along the beach, at the park, near Daiquiri Dick’s Restaurant.  Or, if you are a serious rider and want to really see the back country, we suggest you contact our American friend, Pam Aquirre, at Rancho Charro Stables. Pam can arrange individual or group trips lasting three hours to six days.

Other outfits include Rancho Capomo, which provides ecological horseback riding tours.

Rancho Ojo de Agua also offers high-quality tours. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride north of downtown, toward the Sierra Madre foothills. The morning and sunset rides last 3 hours and take you up into the mountains overlooking the ocean and town.
