Looking for a bit of excitement? There is nothing like a Mexican rodeo, or charreada, to get your pulses pounding. Not far from town and your Vacation Rentals in Puerto Vallarta, you can step into an arena to watch teams of men and women match wits with livestock and each other. Throw on some comfortable clothes and take off for an afternoon of fun.
Much like rodeo in the US, the charreada harks back to the days when cowboys, or charros in Spanish, worked their ranches from horseback. Their lifestyle became a tremendously popular subject for movies and novels in the 20th century, and the sport of charreada found its legs.
If you think you know rodeo, be prepared – the charreada has something new for you. Instead of denim-clad individuals competing individually, two teams of men and women dressed in traditional costume compete against each other. You’ll be treated to a colorful opening ceremony, followed by a series of nine events that test the contestants’ skills in a number of areas.
You can ride the bus to Lienzo Charro Miguel Prieto Ibarria; if you prefer, take a taxi or your own car. No matter how you get there, get ready for a wild ride. The competition is fierce and enthusiastic, and the participants always raise a bit of dust as they go about their work.
It’s fast-paced and thrilling, and if you don’t mind eating a bit of dust, you’ll enjoy a day spent in the company of horses and bulls. Don’t worry about the dirt – clean up back at your Vacation Rentals in Puerto Vallarta, and you’re ready for a night on the town.
