Growing up in Switzerland, I was captivated by books like The Black Stallion that sparked my love for horses. Despite limited opportunities to ride, I did everything I could to be around these majestic creatures. As an adult, I saved up to take riding lessons and eventually found myself working for a travel agency in Mexico. It was there that I fell in love with the country and its friendly people, while also rediscovering my passion for riding. I was amazed by the endless open range and diverse landscapes that surrounded me. This inspired me to open up my ranch to visitors from all over the world, so they too could experience the magic of this incredible place. Over the years, countless guests have come and gone, each one leaving with unforgettable memories of their time at our Rancho.

My wife and I were amazed by this Ranch. It's a bit remote, but definitely worth it. The grounds and rooms are clean, cozy and full of charm. The horseback rides can challenge your expectations and they can customize them for you. The food is excellent and the staff is incredible. If you want to experience the Mexican cowboy life with added luxuries like a pool, spa and bar, this is the place to be!

The highlands of Mexico, located between Mexico City and San Miguel Allende, are a hidden rural paradise. The Ranch, established by a Swiss woman who fell in love with the area and never left, served as my base and home away from home. The ranch caters to travelers from the U.S., Europe, and other parts of the world. I traveled solo from California to the ranch, where I felt safe and at ease. The ranch arranged for my pickup from the Mexico City airport, and there I met friendly visitors from Germany, England, and different parts of the U.S. Each morning, we were asked about our preferred activities for the day. Some days, I went horseback riding and then relaxed in the hot tub with a drink, admiring the waterfalls on the property. The ranch offers a Western movie-like experience when riding through the high desert terrain. I also indulged in a hot stone massage and took a day trip to San Miguel Allende, which is known for its artsy vibe and colonial-era charm. There are plenty of activities to choose from at the ranch, such as waterfall hikes, mountain biking, or simply unwinding by the pool with a good book. The package I purchased was all-inclusive, covering meals and drinks, with precautions taken to ensure the safety of the food and water. The owner's dedication to the ranch is evident in its design and the warm smiles of the local staff. For a truly relaxing experience, I recommend spending a week here, whether solo or with a group. If you enjoy exploring different locations, you can split your time between Mexico City, the ranch, and San Miguel Allende to experience the cultural richness of central Mexico.

The Ranch is a truly enchanting place. I recently participated in a week-long equine therapy and yoga retreat there, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Like many others, I found the ranch to be a spiritual haven, conducive to healing and personal growth. The horses are gentle, well-trained and exceptional at their roles. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive. The ranch itself is stunning, and the yoga studio is simply divine. Riding through the varied countryside is both soothing and thrilling, with options for leisurely walks, brisk canters or gallops based on the riders' preferences. We also had the chance to immerse ourselves in the local culture as we passed through towns and stopped at cantinas for refreshments. The food was outstanding, introducing me to new flavors and always made with fresh, delicious ingredients. I am truly grateful for my time at the ranch and eagerly anticipate my next visit!
