The Setting
Private Land (250-1000 acres)
Our ranch's private property incompases the luxury guest ranch as well as the paddock for our horses. But the whole region is open to our horses and guest riding through...
Public Land (more than 50k acres)
Here at Rancho Las Cascadas we provide a unique riding experience for everyone.
Our public land is unlimited for riding, 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.
Our Riding
Guided rides
All rides are guided. There is no nose-to-tail riding, respecting the fellow riders.
Rides cater to all riding levels. Advanced riders enjoy fast paced riding.
Less experienced riders will go out with a separate guide to ensure that everyone gets the best experience.
We take a great deal of pride to ensure that whatever length your stay is, your experience leaves you with unforgettable memories.
Riding Freedom
Our forte at Rancho Las Cascadas. Choose from over 30 different trails, half day and full day rides.
Plan your personal mix of rides, choosing from mountains, canyons, endless countryside, rivers, lakes, villages, markets, Haciendas (colonial estates), churches, archeological sites, etc.
Every evening our team arranges with all guests the appropriate riding program for the next day considering riding level and fitness. Max. 6-8 riders per wrangler.

Sample Riding Itinerary
Daily Layout
The daily buffet breakfast allows you to choose your own start for the day, according to your preferences before you go on your ride. After each day's riding you get back to the ranch. There you can relax, go for a swim in the infinity pool or enjoy a Margarita in the hot tub.
Each evening you will be served a delicious 4 course dinner in our dining room. All guests dine together, so you will have plenty of opportunity to discuss your adventures with one another.
Colorful folklore events may also be presented on special occasions including traditional dance and music. You may even be invited for an impromptu Salsa lesson. Do you play an instrument? Why don't you bring it along?
