Great, Relaxed Experience

This was an awesome experience! It was a small group with lots of covid cleaning and pre-cautions. Our guide Esmerelda was super nice, knowledgeable, and patient. The horseback riding is perfect for beginners because the pace is relatively slow. The cenote is private- no need to worry about crowds! Plus, you are supporting a great cause!

Just the Excursion I Needed!
Gigi_P
, Nov 2020
My trip to Rancho Bonanza was perfect. The day started with a prompt pick up at my hotel. Once at the ranch, we met with the group and the tour guides Alma and Esmeralda. After signing all necessary consents and getting briefed on safety, we began our ride through the Mayan forest and ended the day with a dip in the cenote. The day was perfect and just the right amount of time (although I wish we had more time to spend at the cenote). We learned a few historical facts about Mayan culture and our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. I'd definitely recommend this excursion

Had an amazing experience!! Alma was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about more than just the horses! She explained a lot about the culture and we were able to see multiple cenotes and also swim in the large one! We also were able to try organic gum and fresh made honey from her bee hives!! Absolutely would recommend this !!!
