We had a great time on a two hour ride. The horses were in great shape and took direction well from a average rider. We will be in Oaxaca in the future and I would happily go riding with this company again. More

We had a great time riding the well cared for and beautiful horses. Our 5 yr old son had the time of his life experiencing the landscape on horseback while he chatted with Bobby. We had very limited horse riding experience and found that the two hour ride was perfect. Bobby and Mary Jane are great folk and have created... More

Myself and my boyfriend went on the 2 hr horseback ride into the hills with friendly Bobby guiding us and beautiful horses Chocolate and Spirit as our trusty steeds. It was an amazing experience, scenery was stunning and really really enjoyable - even for novice horse-riders like us! As we went on the tour Bobby talked about the area, the... More

Just went for the day trip. Never riden a horse and by the end I was a jockey. Great guide, horses pretty much rode themselves. Country was amazing, straight out of the movies. Lunch back at the ranch was tops. Would def go back and even stay a few nights out there. Thanks Gabrielle!! More

This was our third riding trip in Oaxaca with Mary Jane and Bobby, and our first stay at Rancho Pitaya.. Using traditional adobe construction Mary Jane and Bobby have designed a beautiful and comfortable accommodation (with plenty of hot water!). The food is abundant and delicious. Rancho Pitaya is a great destination for riders of all abilities, from inexperienced riders... More

I like it so much it is the second time I do it . Went out to the Cañada, the biosphera reserve Tehuacan-Cuicatlan for three days. We crossed rivers, visited pre-colombian sites, picniked in romantic sites and saw the most diverse flora It is fantastic and a pleasure to ride with Mary Jane. Loved it More

Went for 2h horseriding trail in a group of 3. Owner Bobby was extremely kind, friendly and helpful. Clear explanations and reassurance, tailored to each group. Horses were well trained and well looked after. Warm welcome to the ranch and got to meet other animals; miniature horses, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits. Beautiful ranch made from natural materials. Horseback trail was... More

My boyfriend and I did this tour as part of our 3 night Oaxaca tour and loved every minute. The horses were extremely well cared for and loved, we were made to feel like family for the half day we were there and the included lunch was probably the best food we'd eaten so far in Mexico served with some...

I had 5 days off in Mexico by myself and had to decide how and where to spend them - I decided to spend them at Ranch Pitaya and was very happy with that decision. Mary Jane and Bobby welcomed me heartily and gave me the feeling of being home. I lived in a nice and lovingly furnished room and... More
