Combination Trail Riding and Hot Springs in San Miguel de Allende

We spent an excellent day with Beth and her comrades riding horses near San Miguel. We were picked up and transported to the ranch and met our 2 guides for the day. Beth gave us excellent instructions and we felt prepared and comfortable riding. We each had a lovely horse that was well trained and obedient. The trail ride was about 2.5 hours and we rode 6 miles! The path was rocky at times, winding up and down the hills and the horses commanded it like champs! We trotted several times and ended the ride through the river. After the ride we went back to the cowboy's house to enjoy a lovely homemade lunch by the local women. It included homemade tortillas and cheese, meatballs, rice and cooked vegetables. We also drank delicious fresh squeezed watermelon and pineapple juices. We left there and drove to La Gruta to enjoy a few hours in the thermal water. There were 3 pools with various temperatures. There was a cave that led to a very warm pool that felt like a sauna. The grounds and pools were well kept and wonderful. It was so relaxing to enjoy the pools to mend our stiff joints after our ride. There were drinks and food available for purchase. It was a short 15 minute drive back to San Miguel's center from La Gruta. We loved our time with Beth and really enjoyed spending time with her and learning more about her transition to life abroad in San Miguel. Would highly recommend tour! We especially appreciated supporting the local cowboys and thought it was so awesome how Beth has built an incredible relationship with them. They have been working with Beth for 16 years and you could tell there was a mutual respect and appreciation between them.

Beth provided us a beautiful day of riding the countryside of Mexico and wading in the nearby grutas. I was very impressed with how she and her two compadres were very contentious of safety as compared to each of our level of riding experience. We were given the choice up front of whether we preferred a flat or rolling terrain tráiler for our ride. After a couple of hours we stopped back at the ranch for a very nutritious lunch that included homemade tortillas and cheese, and plenty of fresh vegetables. After our meal we traveled by car to a local grutas for a relaxing two hour plunge in the mineral baths. What a wonderful day! Thank you Beth!

An absolute amazing experience. The cowboys were so friendly and helpful and they rode at our pace. The views were absolutely stunning. Our lunch was a treat and very authentic!!!! Beth was an incredible host and we had so much fun with her at the hot pools. I strongly recommend this journey. We will be doing it again!
