Outing Highlights
Hacienda, Rivers and Mountain Vistas
The outing moves into the Puerto Vallarta hinterlands to Hacienda Doña Engracia — roughly a 25‑minute drive from the meeting point — where riders are matched to horses before setting out along the Mascota River and through local vegetation. If conditions permit, there’s the option to enjoy the ranch pool or a short swim with your horse.
Small‑Batch Tequila Tasting at La Dulce Vista
At La Dulce Vista you’ll sample the operator’s artisanal boutique tequilas — Blanco, Reposado and Añejo — plus a premium Pink Tequila, all made in small batches in the city of Tequila.
Traditional Mexican BBQ and Unlimited Margaritas
The menu is a Mex‑style barbecue: chicken, meat, shrimp, grilled vegetables, beans, rice and guacamole, with vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options available — and an open margarita bar to match.
