This property is listed because it is owned by a person that has become my good friend. She is a lovely Swiss lady with Mexican citizenship and this Rancho is the most incredible place you can imagine. I really can't recommend this to you highly enough. Please remember though that there may be some mistakes in the information on here as I have put her Rancho on here as a favor to her and to you, because I know you are going to have a great time there.

R I D I N G
Here at Rancho Las Cascadas we provide a unique riding experience for everyone, anything from a gentle stroll along the lake, cantering up the side of a hill, galloping across open countryside, crossing rivers, swimming with the horses in the lake or traversing rocky paths to the top of a mountain.
Rides are suited to any riding level, from complete beginner to very experienced riders. Advanced riders have the opportunity to enjoy really great, faster paced riding. Less experienced riders can go out with a separate guide to ensure that everyone gets the best experience. Or, if you are a mixed level group, like a family or group of friends, we are able to send you out together as one group but with 2 wranglers, giving you the opportunity to ride together during your stay.
We take a great deal of pride to ensure that whatever length your stay is, your experience leaves you with unforgettable memories. We organize our rides to be varied and to provide an insight into the local area, giving you a flavor of the different terrain and landscapes of this beautiful part of Mexico.
