Recently, a short and congenial award ceremony designed to recognize excellence among local tour operators rendering services to Princess Cruises passengers when here on stop-overs, included an award presentation, a tour of the ship and elegant breakfast.

Rancho La Ponderosa, won the prestigious award based on high ratings and positive passenger comments, in addition to the tour being of excellent value to cruise ship passengers.

Luis ‘Lucho’ Claro and Ramon Herrera owners of Rancho La Ponderosa Horseback Tours, report that they have already been recognized by the cruise line a number of times, as Tour of the Season since 2008/2009, and they are always pleased to receive such accolades and positive feed-back, contributing to passengers’ overall impression of their cruise vacation.
