The highlight of a recent trip to Oaxaca was our stay and horseback riding at Rancho Pitaya. Mary Jane quickly responded to our inquiry into riding (we were looking to spend time out of the city) and she made it possible for us to stay at the ranch for 5 days! First, on arrival we were greeted warmly by Mary... More

Came here with my girlfriend in Jan 2013 and had an absolutely fantastic time. Sorry it took me so long to write a review :) Horse riding was great, scenery was stunning and ppl very friendly. Absolutely come and visit this ranch if you're in Oaxaca. I had never really ridden much before but really loved it and felt very... More

Our family of four enjoyed a two-hour trail ride with Mary Jane in mid-February 2013. I booked the ride a month or two prior to our visit to Oaxaca (having to pay the entire amount in advance was a bit of an annoyance, but it worked out). As we are all fairly experienced riders, I wanted to make sure we... More

They say that the third time is a charm but, in this case, every time is a charm! We've visited Ranch Pitaya three times now and each trip has been a unique and outstanding experience. The food and accommodations are brilliant and the horseback riding measures up to best that we've experienced anywhere in the world. Mary Jane and Bobby... More

We stayed at Rancho Pitaya for four nights. It made a great base of operation for touring to Mitla, Tomitlan del Valle, and other sites, using a taxi based near the ranch - didn't have to deal with the traffic getting in and out of Oaxaca to make these visit. The food was great, freshly made at every meal, basically... More

This is the third trip I've taken with Horseback Mexico and the experience is always wonderful. Mary Jane and Bobby are so accomodating and treat you like family. The scenery is specatucular, the horses provide a wonderful ride, and the food and accomodations are great. This is the place to go in Mexico for an experience you will always remember.... More

Mary Jane and Bobby are great hosts. Mary Jane is super attentive both at the ranch and on the ride. The horses are great and led by riders who really know what they are doing, and take their guests' safety seriously. So if you are a beginner, you are in good hands. The atmosphere at the ranch is lovely and... More

This was a highlight of my trip to Oaxaca last week. I am a beginner rider, having only ridden horses as a small child. I have a bad back and was a little nervous about that, as well. Mary Jane and her family were just so kind and careful to accomodate me. I met them at their office, which is... More

We only had a chance to go for an afternoon ride of a few hours, but even if you have had little or no experience riding a horse, this was a great time. Mary Jance, Bobby and her family made the whole experience easy and non stressful and the horses were calm and super well trained. We left on trails... More
