Additional Information

When you first set foot at our location, a bonafide charro from Jalisco will greet you, escorting you on a journey we’ve named ‘Entre Charros’ (Among Charros).

You’ll get to explore our heritage museum, often referred to as the Cathedral of Charrería, garnering insights about the history and evolution of horsemanship in Mexico and beyond.

We’ll make a stop at the stables, where you’ll gain knowledge about the Quarter Horse, their maintenance, the equipment used in their care and in managing the livestock.

We’ll delve into the art of lassoing, introducing you to its uses and techniques, thereby ushering you into the world of charros.

Ultimately, donning a charro hat, you’ll get the opportunity to ride a horse. We’ll provide basic guidelines for practical communication with the horse.

The climax of the experience is the closing celebration where we’ll raise a glass of fine tequila in toast, basking in the harmonious melodies of mariachi music and the songs of the charrería.

Embrace the world of ‘Entre Charros.’

A journey to the beginning of one of our strongest traditions - A very nice project, this is where what we have all heard at some point that there is strength in numbers is really reflected. I hope that this project goes very well and that it is made known every day to more people who want to know a little more about our cultural roots such as charrería, I think it arrived just in time to remind the new generations of the beginnings of regional Mexican music.

You have to go! - It was an amazing experience, we learned about the incredible history of charros. Our tour guide Jorge Torres was not just a knowledgeable charro himself but also an accomplished singer. After teaching us how to mount and ride their beautiful horses, he sung and played his guitar for us. It was all in all, an unforgettable experience. If you love culture, history and music then this is a must!

Nice Insight into Mexican horse shows - Historia, familia, y puro orgullo charro Mexicano! This experience is a historic walk down memory lane to honor the traditional Mexican horse show experience in Guadalajara. The funnest part is learning the tricks of how to laso and ride a horse. The history lesson can be shorter, but nonetheless very informative.

#1 place to visit in Guadalajara - Wonderful experience that is a must do if you visit Guadalajara! Jorge and the charros give you a great experience rich in history and real world experiences of the charro lifestyle. You become a charro/a for the day and end with a beautiful nostalgic serenade with of course some of Jalisco’s finest tequila! If you do not visit Entre Charros, were you really even in Guadalajara. 🤗

Must do while in Guadalajara!! - Jorge was an amazing guide and so knowledgeable! I was a little nervous going on my own but he made it so easy to enjoy. Definitely, a must-do while in Guadalajara! I went on a Tuesday but I heard a good day to go was on Sunday. Anyways, Jorge was great and has an amazing voice and I would love to come back to this experience.
