Mexico’s Paso de Cortes Trail Horseback Riding

Come and spend a week at a luxurious riding ranch in an area suspended in time— with a cultural history spanning more than 5,000 years. Ride the area of the Iztaccihuatl, where Hernan Cortes saw the Aztec capital for the first time in the inhabited by some of the first civilizations of America. Follow the route of the great sugar cane haciendas where national revolutionary hero Emiliano Zapata was born, lived and died. Experience the strange mixture of pre-Hispanic religious worship and Christianity in the XVI and XVII century churches and monasteries.

At the ranch you will have a unique opportunity for long horseback rides, exhilarating outdoor activities and a cultural immersion into Mexico. In addition you are offered a spiritual encounter with fascinating legends of pre-Hispanic people, about their gods and sacred mountains, as well as their ancient ceremonial rites such as Temazcal steam baths—which purify the body, mind and spirit.

The excellent accommodations of the ranch include a total of 9 bedrooms, some in individual cottages and bungalows, two dining areas, bar/saloon, huge indoor pool and a stable of 25 registered Quarter horses, brought in from the United States. Meals served are a gourmet blend of Mexican/International cuisine with exotic tropical fruits available all year round.
