Great way to experience Cócora Valley! - Really appreciated our Spanish-only speaking guide. He was able to communicate nicely with me as to proper riding techniques, took amazing pictures for us and paced our trip perfectly for our abilities. A great experience! The river stop was so amazing and refreshing!

Super nice adventure - It was a very nice adventure and easy as well thanks to the guide. Even if we were going up and down the hills, it was very easy. It was our first time

A great experience. - What a great experience! We stopped at the first location entering the valley and spoke with Carlos, who gave us all the information we needed, explained what was available to us and the cost applicable to each of the options on offer. The horses appeared well looked after and the equipment clean and in good order. We recommend the experience and wish to make special mention of Carlos, our guide, who was exceptional in his knowledge and obvious love of his job.

Best experience of my life! - The views were insane and I’ve never seen such stunning landscapes! The jeep ride to the valley was an experience on its own as well! Our tour guide Daniel was also very kind enough to take lots of pictures of us! Great experience! 10/10 would recommend!

Great Scenery - At the beginning they start off with telling you what places you will be seeing along the way, and a guide will be with you on foot just in case. We travel up a pathway packed with tourists, hitting a people along the way can be possible if not careful. At the time we were there the pathways towards the main scenery was very muddy but also very rocky, not sure if the horses are feeling comfortable. The routes are one way, meaning people who are coming back will be riding towards you and depending on where you are, along the other riders to ride passed you can be difficult and also painful to the horses as they rub against each other, I got a cut on my leg from another horse passing by me as we rubbed against each other. As soon as we get to the hillsides, the scenery is gorgeous and super breathtaking but there isn't much to do there except take pictures then head back to your horse. Travel back is what I've mentioned before beautiful but a bit dangerous but overall I fairly enjoyed it
