Magical experience! - This tour was an absolutely magical experience! Willy is a very sensitive and calm tour guide, and I felt completely safe and well taken care of with him and his animals. The journey to the spring, as well as the spring itself, allows you to find peace if you are open to it. When I started the tour, I felt unsettled and physically unwell. But after the ride and the second bath, everything was swept away, and I felt completely at peace. The spring is a place of silence. I would immediately recommend this journey to sensitive people who can feel the magic of such places and experiences.

Therapeutic oasis outside Puerto Escondido - This was was a magical experience traveling by horseback through the most beautiful biome to sacred and healing hot springs outside of Puerto Escondido. We crossed the river 6 times on this beautiful trail to our destination (almost an hour each way). Guillermo “Willie” our guide was so patient, making sure that I was comfortable and felt safe the whole time. I was nervous at first because it had been 20 years since I’d ridden a horse. I was so grateful for the way he made me feel taken care of. The hot springs were amazing 🤩 and you could feel the healing energy in this place! There are 5 pools all with varying temperatures from warm to very hot. This place was an oasis and I thoroughly enjoyed going from the hot springs to the cool water of the creek. There are so many opportunities to capture your memories with photos because the backdrop is out of this world. I had such a special experience that I took the tour again, the next day. I felt called back to this special place. Don’t miss this experience when visiting Puerto Escondido!

What a breathtaking... - What a breathtaking experience! First, we were greeted by Carlos who will drive you to the family’s farm. He was extremely friendly, kind, and gave us a bunch of recommendations for food/places to check out. Once we arrived at the small town, the family was welcoming and efficient in getting us situated with our horses. Someone from the family guided us to the hot springs (and their 3 dogs came along with us, all super well behaved!). On the horse ride, we crossed through the most beautiful scenery ever (rivers, farms, sights of mountains, etc!!) We had ample time to relax at the Hot Springs. Made such awesome memories.

Amazing! - Amazing experience. Our driver Carlos was amazing and very knowledgeable. Took us to the town where we would be riding the horses, we met Jamie which was our tour guide and he made the experience a 20/10. Definitely would recommend.
