Ride through coastal jungle and along a quiet Pacific beach at Mr. Lionso Ranch, then sit down to a ranch-style lunch and a hands-on mezcal tasting. This half-day combines gentle horseback travel with local food, craft spirits and shopping.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You climb into the truck as coastal wind tugs at your hat and the city fades behind you. Fifteen minutes from Mazatlán's Golden Zone, Mr. Lionso Ranch opens to a patchwork of agave fields, low jungle and a lonely Pacific strand where surf edges the sand. Your guide saddles a steady horse; you fall into single-file rhythm—hooves tapping soft dirt, jungle leaves brushing your calf, the ocean calling just beyond a dune.
