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.’

Me siento como un charro!! - What a great experience, amazing history and tradition, along with actually learning the basics of how to rope and ride. I felt like a charro by the end of it. Amazing tour, and our guide Jorge spoke great English!

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.

A world heritage with amazing guide - This was a wonderful experience. Jorge Torres is not only an authentic charro but also an up and coming singer. He clearly poured his soul into ensuring everyone had a good time and got a glimpse of the culture of charros and Mexico. The site is recognized by UNESCO as a heritage worthy of recognition. We are experienced riders in the US (so no need for the little ride) but we found the tour was more than worth the time and money. We will keep rooting for Jorge’s fame and fortune now!

It was great being a Charro! - Such a great experience. Jorges the host is an actual Charro. He provided us with the history and then showed us how to lasso and finally got to ride a beautiful horse. It was followed by drinks and a special performance by Jorges. I had so much fun and highly recommended taking this tour. You get to experience a real traditional Mexican activity which is part of the culture.

Entre Charros con familia - Entre Charros was an amazing experience for young and old alike. Jorge and Manuel did an excellent job giving us history, cultural impact, and importance of charros not only in Mexico but around the world. We traveled with two teenagers and I was very proud of how interested they were and how much they participated in the tour. I recommend it for youths so they spend less screen time and more time socializing in th Real world. Bring a snack as there is no food and some people may get hangry after 2-3 hours. In addition, be prepared to rope and ride and get your hands a little dirty. Enjoy your charro tour!

Fantastic experience again at any time - We were there in December 2023 coming from Germany when we were in Guadalajara for a few days. It was a great experience to get to know the Charro culture. Our guide Jesus did a great job and he lives the tradition. Even after the official part was over, we were allowed to continue riding the horses and practicing with the lasso as long as we wanted. I highly recommend this tour and you get a lot for the entrance fee. I would do the tour again at any time because you immediately feel welcome and at home. Many thanks to our tour guide Jesus.
