Cancelled on us Twice
We were originally booked for a Monday and they contacted us on Sat and canceled due to operational reasons. They rescheduled us to Thursday at same time. Then they reached out on Wednesday and stated the ranch would not be able to saddle the horses. They did offer us other options but we declined as we had booked especially for the horseback riding.

Best tour ever !
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip! The horseback riding with the mountains in the background was truly special. Our guide, Bosco, was amazing—he shared the history of Monserrate in such an engaging way that made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommend!!
