The sunset ride

Rancho Baile de la Luna runs a sunset horseback ride near San Miguel de Allende, about ninety minutes through the high desert timed so the heart of the ride lands in golden hour. It costs $1,400 MXN per rider, with one to four riders per group.

Why evening is special out here

The high desert saves its best light for last. The fields go gold, the mesquite throws long shadows, the Sierra turns purple, and in the right season you ride back toward the ranch as the moon rises. It is the hour the ranch was named for.

Practical notes

Departure time moves with the season so the middle of your ride lands in the gold. Evening rides are our most requested, so message a day or two ahead. Bring a layer for the ride home; the campo cools quickly once the sun is down.

Quick questions
How much is a horseback ride in San Miguel de Allende?

At Rancho Baile de la Luna a one-hour trail ride is $1,200 MXN, an hour and a half is $1,400 MXN, and two hours is $1,600 MXN, per rider. Groups are one to four riders, and single riders are welcome. That is deliberately simpler and less expensive than the all-day deluxe tours most operators sell.

Do I need riding experience?

No. Most of our guests are beginners. We match each rider with a horse that fits their comfort level, give basic instruction before heading out, and keep the pace easy. Horses like Holly and Capitán have carried hundreds of first-time riders.

What should I wear for horseback riding?

Closed-toe shoes, preferably with a small heel, long pants, sunscreen, and a hat that will not blow away. We mean that last part. A hat that takes off at a trot is a hat you will be walking back for. Leave dangly jewelry at home. Mornings and evenings can be cool in the high desert, so layers work well. We handle everything else.
