Highlights
Upon arriving at our venue, you will be welcomed by a true charro from Jalisco, who will guide you through the tour we call "Entre Charros" (Among Charros). You will explore our site museum, considered the Cathedral of Charrería, while learning about the history and evolution of man on horseback in Mexico and the world. We will visit the stables where we will learn about the Quarter Horse, their care and attention, as well as the tools we use to work with them and the livestock. We will learn about the use of the lasso and how to lasso to initiate ourselves into the world of charros. Finally, the time comes to ride a horse with a charro hat, for which we will give you some basic instructions on how to communicate with the horse in a practical way. The best part is the end because we will celebrate and toast with a delicious tequila while enjoying the music of the mariachi and the songs of the charrería. Welcome to the world of "Entre Charros."

5Sneaky way to learn a lot
This was very fun. I learned so much about the history and culture of charros in a really engaging way.
5Wonderful Experience!
Absolutely amazing tour. Marco is a true Charro, he lives, breathes and embodies the lifestyle and is proud to share his culture with others. The tour is fun, educational, and professional. Highly recommend.
5Marco did a great job of...
Marco did a great job of explaining, taking questions, and making things more enjoyable as I had a dry tour guide the next day elsewhere and it does make a difference.
5Amazing Charro Experience
The Charro experience with Marco was very educational and thorough. Marco lives and breathes the Charro standards and kept us engaged throughout the tour. We practiced lassoing and rode a beautiful horse! In the end, he gave us a insightful history of Mexico and how the Charros originated and influenced the culture. He also shared the Charro principles which resonated with us.
5I had the chance to visit...
I had the chance to visit Lienzo Charros de Jalisco and learn more about the tradition, values, and heart behind charreria. What stood out to me most was the relationship between the charro and the horse; the trust, discipline, respect, patience, and connection it takes to move together as one. I learned that being a charro is about much more than the clothing or the sport. It represents honor, courage, loyalty, respect, tradition, and pride in where you come from. This experience also made me think about the way I've always loved; deeply, passionately, and especially the women who have been important in my life. Maybe that comes from something rooted even deeper in me. In my genes, I have the heart of a Mexican and the soul of a charro. Being there reminded me just how beautiful and powerful my culture is. There is something special about experiencing traditions that have been passed down through generations and seeing them kept alive with so much pride. And the saying is true: when you come to Lienzo Charros de Jalisco, you leave a more Mexican than when you came.
5Great tour - highly recommend
Excellent experience. Our tour guide Marcos very knowledgeable, polite, fun and extremely well dressed as Charro . I would do this and maybe schedule a horse ride that is also offered. Thank you very much for having us and give us a great tour.

Guadalajara sits in the western highlands, at around 1,500 metres, and calls itself the cradle of mariachi and tequila. The historic centre is arranged around a cross of plazas, with the twin spires of the cathedral, the Palacio de Gobierno, which has a huge mural of Miguel Hidalgo by José Clemente Orozco, and the neoclassical Degollado Theatre. The Hospicio Cabañas, a former orphanage, is a UNESCO site with more Orozco murals.
