About this trip

Located within the canyon is one of the oldest family-run ranches in the region, with a history spanning 300 years. This ranch has upheld a sustainable and traditional lifestyle throughout its history.
During your visit, you can enjoy a day filled with activities, including touring the ranch and organic gardens, a nature hike, itraditional Mexican cooking experience, and discover the art of leather processing—where you can even try your hand at making a small keepsake.
