Some thoughts from Ryan Schmidt, owner of Hidden Trails about...

Destination Mexico
Unfortunately Mexico has a bad reputation re their horsemanship and horse care. This is mainly due to the many "on the side of the road" operations in the busy tourist towns.  But make no mistake -- Mexico is a great "Horse Country". I have traveled across Mexico and found some of the best horse breeding farms anywhere.  We have been able to select the best equestrian trips in North America for you in Mexico!

Mexico is just a short flight away and could be one of the best riding destinations for you throughout the year. 

Colores de Mexico Ride at Rancho Las Cascadas

Certainly one of the best deals available at the moment, but that does not mean you have lesser quality. To the contrary!  This is a trip is of the highest standard -  very nice accommodations, superb meals, lots of good wines, and some of the fastest pace riding you will find anywhere in North America (if you are not experienced - you will go out with separate guides).

The countryside is on a high plateau with steep canyons, lakes, small creeks and some historic sites. Your host and the staff are all "out of this world" -- our clients cannot stop raving about their experience - the only regret they may have is that they did not book a longer stay.”

Mexican Ranch Experience

A Dream Vacation for Riders and Non-Riders Alike…

Nested between gently sloping mountains and overlooking stunning natural waterfalls, Rancho Las Cascadas is located only an hour from Mexico City international airport.

Serious equestrians, beginners and non-riders alike can enjoy the vacation of their dreams within the beautiful backdrop of traditional Mexican countryside.

The ranch offers tastefully-decorated Mexican style courtyard rooms and ‘casitas,’ each with luxurious private baths and first class amenities.  Staff prepare gourmet meals, provide personalized service and plan activities and excursions customized to the interests of our guests.

Our paddocks are filled with beautiful horses - mostly Quarter Horse/Criollo blends – who are in excellent shape, easy to ride, sure-footed in every pace, and trained to accommodate riders at every skill level from absolute beginner to expert rider.

Choose from a wide variety of rides to see the many magnificent panoramic vistas, mountain ranges, historic haciendas, traditional villages and other spectacular scenery in the area.

You’ll ride in open big sky country where you can choose to walk, canter or gallop for miles and miles, as far as you like.  There are no fences - no trails - no nose-to-tail riding here!

For our non-riders and riders alike, there are numerous ways to relax at the ranch:  unwind in the hot tub; explore three waterfalls on the ranch; enjoy a margarita and refreshing breeze in the hammocks; play a game of pool; learn to make Mexican foods and drinks in the ranch kitchen or bar; or read one of our many equestrian magazines and other books in our living room, lounge, or patio.

We also plan a number of activities and optional excursions to historic sites and colorful markets to help you get to know the real Mexico. 

Mexican Hospitality combined with Swiss Management guarantees you a safe and well organized Horseback Riding Vacation at RANCHO LAS CASCADAS.
