Absolutely wonderful excursion. Alma and the other staff are very knowledgeable, caring and kind with the animals. It is clear they are well taken care of and loved. Horses were gentle and well trained. Cenote was a nice refreshing cool off at the end of a hot and sunny afternoon ride. Bring mosquito spray!

Amazing Excursion!!!

We were looking for a short, but fun excursion and this did not disappoint!!! We got to Rancho Bonanza and were met by Luis and Alma. Both incredibly friendly. The horses, Tomato and Rosita were friendly, well maintained, and well behaved. The ranch also has goats, donkeys, pigs, and peacocks. We got to feed the donkeys while taking a tour of the small ranch. While on horseback, Alma told us all about the history, the fruits, the jungle, and the animals. Luis, our photographer, took a ton of pictures. After the horseback ride, we jumped into the cenote and swam around. It was gorgeous and so clear. I can’t say enough wonderful things about this excursion. It’s perfect if you’re looking for something relatively short. Be warned, you’re in the jungle so WEAR BUG SPRAY and light clothing. I wish I had known earlier that mosquitos are attracted to dark clothing. I can’t stress enough - wear light clothing and lots of bug spray. This won’t disappoint.
