Ride, eat, relax and sleep! A complete immersion into Oaxaca’s nature and culture.
This overnight ride includes one night of deluxe lodging at eco-friendly Rancho Pitaya. No other tour in the interior highlands of Oaxaca offers such a variety of natural and cultural experiences in so short a time.
Within minutes of riding out from the ranch trails ascend to protected lands dotted with massive yucca trees and rich in towering old-growth columnar cacti. Ride to a lookout where panorama views stretch out across the great valley of Tlacolula and up to the Sierra Juarez. Dismount, stretch and enjoy refreshing snacks in the shade. The trails then descend toward the Rio Salado where village diary farmers drive horse-drawn carts and cut alfalfa with a scythe. The wild cane that lines banks of the river is a haven for birdlife.
Back at Rancho Pitaya, a freshly prepared meal awaits. After a morning spent in nature on horseback, relax on the shady veranda with a fresh fruit cooler, ice cold beer or a mezcal Margarita. Finish the day with a visit to the 2,000 yr. old Bald Cypress tree in El Tule or join the ranch’s cook to learn authentic Oaxacan dishes. Enjoy dinner outdoors and the fresh, clean air assures a good night’s sleep.
Start the day with a complete breakfast in the warm morning sun before a short drive to the pre-Hispanic archeological site of Dainzu where the riding begins. Massive candelabra cacti, ancient stone bridges, a restored hacienda and expansive backcountry define this ride. Feast on a leisurely meal back at Rancho Pitaya before returning to the city around 4 pm.
