Rancho Las Cascadas, located in a valley on a high mountain plateau at
7500ft/2300m, is situated in a region where the ranch based riding options start
right
from the main house in any direction. This ensures that the rider gets the
maximum horseback time. Enjoy open range riding in a diverse landscape.
"The extinct volcanic geology of the region has created a landscape
crisscrossed with ancient lava flows. These have partially eroded over
millennia and evolved into a rich landscape of micro-environments,
creating habitats such as: low undulating hills, volcanic outcrops,
narrow stream valleys, dry seasonal common pasture, ancient barren lava
fields, seasonally lush shallow lake shores, high hill climbs with over
looking views, dry plains, rich seasonally irrigated maize, wheat, oat,
bean, squash, and sunflower fields. The low intensity of the farming
means that wild saguaro and nopal cacti, agaves, and thorn bush
predominate on the common grazing land. The green season (June –
October) produces a colorful riot of wild flowers. The flat fields and
quiet unpaved roads offer excellent gallops for confident riders, one of
the great thrills on offer!
The low intensity agriculture is limited by the high plain’s rainfall,
thus the ranch is surrounded by a patchwork of small farms who practice
mixed farming and who maintain small villages with local shops, schools,
health care centers etc. all interlinked by small roads and a myriad of
trails. Local cowboys and farmers use these same trails to tend to their
farm plots and small herds, some even still use the paired horse or oxen
drawn plough to till their land!

...OR THIS ONE:
Progressive Ride ‘Viva
Mexico – Highland Explorer’
Upgrade your stay
and include this nice ongoing 6-day ride.
The horses stay
out every night and the riders return to the ranch after
each days ride.
Great for
riders who love progressive rides but prefer to stay in
their own comfortable room every night and not having to
pack daily.
