LORETO COAST HORSE RIDING EXPEDITION

BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR

DURATION:

2 to 3 hours

LOCATION:

Loreto, BCS

SEASON:

Year round

Loreto, the first city on the Baja California Peninsula located on the coast of the Gulf of California, has a cultural heritage from the ancient missionaries who came to explore these lands. They brought their beliefs and culture, introducing ranching culture to this peninsula.

Today, the southern Californian cowboy culture continues in local communities, and we strive to enhance and protect it. Therefore, we blend this culture with coastal ecosystems and biodiversity by offering a horseback ride that allows us to combine culture, education, and ecology of this area. These coasts are important ecosystems for terrestrial mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and local communities.

Truly, Loreto is a natural and cultural treasure of Southern California that needs to be protected and conserved. It is an important part of our peninsula's history and serves as a backbone, providing structure and connectivity to the ecology of this place.
