Horseback riding

The best part of this Todos Santos horseback ride is the change of scenery. You move from town toward hillside trails and open beaches, passing Playa La Cachora along the way. Guide Daniel and his assistants are involved in the ride, and they may stop to take photos and videos for you.

I like the small maximum group of five, which should make basic riding help easier to get. I also like that the route suits mixed experience levels: one rider described feeling confident as a first-time horseback rider, while a more experienced companion still had plenty of fun. The main drawback is practical: the advertised duration is listed as approximately 1 to 15 minutes, an unusually wide range, so confirm the exact riding time before you book.

Key points to know before you book

• Beach and hill riding in one outing: The route goes up into the hills, then back down toward the beach.
• Playa La Cachora is on the route: You pass this beach area while exploring the coast near Todos Santos.
• Daniel helps make the ride personal: He and his assistants may take photos and videos along the way.
• Small groups matter: The maximum is five people, useful if you want more direct help from the guide.
• A saddle is included: You do not need to bring your own riding equipment.
• Transport is not included: You must reach Heroico Colegio Militar 42 in central Todos Santos yourself.

Riding from Todos Santos toward the coast

This experience begins at Heroico Colegio Militar 42 in Centro, Todos Santos. That central meeting point is useful if you are already staying in town, but private transportation is not included, so you need to arrange your own way there.

Once the ride begins, the appeal is simple: you see Baja California Sur from horseback rather than from a road vehicle. The route is described as a mix of trails, hills, and beach, giving the outing more variety than a straight shoreline ride.

That variety matters. A beach-only ride can be scenic but repetitive. Here, the path rises into the hills before heading back down toward the sand. You get changing views and a stronger sense of the area around Todos Santos, even though the activity remains fairly easy to understand: mount up, follow the guide, and enjoy the route.

The exact duration deserves attention. The supplied booking information gives an approximate length of 1 to 15 minutes, which is not precise enough for planning a full day. Since the described route includes hills, beaches, and several photo stops, I would ask Pegaso Expediciones to confirm the expected riding time before paying. You should also allow extra time around the stated duration for meeting the guide, mounting, and returning the horses.

Why the hill section adds value

The hill portion gives the ride a change of pace. You are not simply following a flat line along the coast. The route heads upward, then returns toward the beach, so the experience offers both inland and coastal views.

For a first-time rider, this may sound more demanding than it is. The useful point is that a qualified instructor leads the outing, and the small group limit should make it easier to receive direct instructions. One first-time rider described feeling confident during the ride, while a companion with much more riding experience also enjoyed it. That suggests the outing can work for a mixed pair, rather than forcing everyone into a beginner-only or advanced-only group.

Still, you should be honest about your comfort around horses. The available information says most people can participate, but it does not promise a specific riding skill level, pace, or terrain difficulty. If you are nervous, tell the guide at the start. If you already ride often, ask how much control you will have over pace and direction.

The horses themselves received strong praise for being well trained and well cared for. That is important. A scenic route is not enough if the animals seem poorly handled or the ride feels rushed. The available feedback points to a calm, professional approach, though you should still follow the instructor’s directions closely.

Playa La Cachora and the return to the beach

Playa La Cachora appears along the route as the ride moves back toward the coast. The beach section is likely the most photogenic part of the outing, especially if you want pictures of yourself on horseback with the Pacific setting behind you.

This is also where the service from Daniel and his assistants adds practical value. They have taken photos and videos during the ride, including at stops along the way. That means you can enjoy the horse and the view without trying to manage your phone from the saddle.

Do not expect every stop to feel like a formal sightseeing station. The ride is an outdoor activity, not a historical tour of Todos Santos. The information provided does not promise a long cultural explanation, a meal, or a visit inside a particular attraction. Its strength is the setting and the simple pleasure of moving through it on horseback.

The beach also brings a few considerations. Sand, sun, and wind can affect your comfort, and the activity requires good weather. The provider may cancel for poor conditions, offering another date or a full refund. That policy protects you from being sent out when the weather is unsuitable, but it means you should keep some flexibility in your schedule.

Daniel’s role and the small-group feel

Daniel is specifically associated with the ride, along with assistants who help during the experience. The strongest praise focuses on his time and effort with customers, as well as the photos provided afterward. That personal attention can make a real difference, especially if this is your first time on a horse.

A maximum of five people is another major advantage. A large horseback group can feel like a procession, with the person at the front getting most of the guide’s attention and those at the back simply following along. Five riders create a better chance to ask questions, receive help mounting or steering, and pause for photos without holding up a crowd.

The small size does not guarantee a private ride. The activity is limited to five, not described as private. If you want the entire outing reserved for your party, ask Pegaso Expediciones before booking.

English is offered, which removes one common worry for international visitors. The available information does not say how much instruction you receive before mounting, so use the meeting point as a chance to explain your experience level and any concerns.

What is included, and what you still need to handle

A saddle is included. That is the only listed equipment item, so do not assume that transportation, meals, drinks, helmets, or other gear are part of the price. The information specifically says private transportation is not included.

You should reach the meeting point on your own and arrive with enough time to find the guide. The address is Heroico Colegio Militar 42, Centro, 23300 Todos Santos, B.C.S., Mexico. The activity ends back at that same meeting point, which keeps the day straightforward once you arrive.

The listed operating hours are Monday through Sunday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The activity is available through November 27, 2026, according to the supplied dates. Since the exact riding duration is unclear, confirm both the start time and expected finish when your reservation is confirmed.

The experience is offered with a mobile ticket, so you can keep your booking on your phone. Confirmation is sent within 48 hours, subject to availability. Because the activity averages bookings about 25 days ahead, I would not leave it until the last minute if riding is important to your Todos Santos plans.

Is $155.32 a fair price?

At $155.32 per person, this is not a cheap way to spend a few minutes outdoors. The value depends heavily on the actual riding time and what is included in the final experience.

The price makes more sense if you receive a substantial guided route through both the hills and beach areas, direct help from Daniel and his assistants, and the promised photos and videos. The maximum of five also gives you a more personal outing than a large commercial ride. For a couple or small family that values one-on-one attention, those points can justify paying more.

The price is harder to assess because the published duration is so broad. A listing that says approximately 1 to 15 minutes does not let you compare this ride fairly with other horseback activities. Ask for the expected time in the saddle, not just the meeting time. Also ask whether the photos and videos are supplied at no extra charge, since the available information describes them as part of the personal service but does not list them under included items.

The cost may be worthwhile for a special occasion, a first riding experience, or a small group that wants the beach setting without arranging a full day of transportation. It may not suit you if you are looking for a long ride, a low-cost activity, or a package with transportation from your hotel.

Who will get the most from this ride

This experience fits several kinds of riders:

• First-time riders: A qualified instructor leads the route, and one first-time rider felt comfortable with the support provided.
• Mixed-experience couples: A beginner and an experienced rider can enjoy the same outing without needing separate activities.
• Photographers and social media users: The route includes stops for photos, and Daniel’s team may capture pictures and videos for you.
• Small groups: With only five spaces, the ride should feel less crowded than a large stable outing.
• Visitors based in central Todos Santos: The meeting point is in Centro, and the ride returns there.

It may be a weaker match if you need hotel pickup, want a clearly stated long-duration ride, or prefer a structured cultural tour with extensive commentary. The activity is about riding through the area, not about covering a long list of attractions.

Service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Most people can participate, though the supplied information does not give a detailed list of physical requirements. If you have concerns about mounting, balance, or riding over uneven ground, contact the provider before booking.

Weather, cancellations, and timing

You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the experience start time. Changes made less than 24 hours before the start are not accepted, and cancellations inside that period are not refunded.

Weather is a real factor for an outdoor ride. If poor weather forces a cancellation, you are offered another date or a full refund. The same choice applies if the minimum number of participants is not reached and the provider cancels.

Those rules are fair, but the 24-hour cut-off means you should check the forecast before the deadline if conditions look uncertain. The cut-off is based on local time in Todos Santos.

The activity can be booked from Monday through Sunday during the stated 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. operating window. A morning booking may be more comfortable in warm weather, but the supplied information does not identify a best departure time. Ask the provider which start time offers the expected route and riding duration you want.

My practical booking advice

Before you confirm, send Pegaso Expediciones three short questions:

• How long will I actually be on horseback?
• Is the ride suitable for my level of experience?
• Are the photos and videos included at the quoted price?

Those questions address the only real uncertainty in the information provided. The route itself is clear enough: Todos Santos trails, a hill section, Playa La Cachora, and a return to the meeting point. The group size, English service, saddle, and cancellation terms are also straightforward.

Bring your mobile ticket and plan your own transportation to the address. Since there is no private transportation included, do not assume a hotel pickup. You should also leave room in your schedule in case the meeting and return take longer than the unusually broad duration estimate suggests.

Should you book this Todos Santos horseback ride?

I would book it if you want a small, personal ride that combines the hills and beaches near Todos Santos, especially if you are traveling with someone who has a different level of riding experience. The care given to the horses, the direct help from Daniel and his assistants, and the chance to receive photos make this more appealing than a basic trail ride.

I would pause before booking if the $155.32 price feels high or if you need a clearly stated ride length. Confirm the duration first. If Pegaso Expediciones gives you a satisfactory answer, this is a strong choice for a scenic outdoor outing with a personal feel. If they cannot clarify the time in the saddle, compare it with another local ride before committing.
