Charreada Rodeo Tour
At 10 am, we'll meet at the Campo Charro Jalisco cultural centre in Guadalajara. Here, we'll begin our experience of charrería or charreada, recognized as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Accompanied by authentic charro horsemen, we'll visit the charreria museum to see traditional costumes, saddles, and metalwork characteristic of charreado. We will learn about the history of this activity in Mexico, its evolution, and the origin of the word "charro".
After the museum tour, we'll see the nine different events known as suertes, which include reining, heeling, steer tailing, and the "pass of death," which involves jumping onto an unbroken horse from another horse. Participants will also have the opportunity to try riding the horses.
We'll learn about the relationship between charros and their horses and converse with a group of charros about their performances.
After exploring this Jalisco tradition, we will toast with a tequila before concluding the experience at 2 pm back at the starting point.
