I can be your tourist guide around the region or recommend good places depending on what your interest is, I can teach you good typical Mexican dishes, make a bonfire, enjoy and cook.
You can also have all that exchange that traditional Mexican culture can offer you.
When we are not at the ranch, we love to go camping on the beach...
Alejandro is a surfer and skateboarder for many years, he loves to go out to catch good waves as early as possible, he knows the best secret places to do it.
