Descrição
Welcome to our equestrian guest ranch in San Isidro Chichihuistan, Chiapas, Mexico! Located just 1 hour outside the charming colonial town of San Cristóbal de las Casas, our ranch offers a unique retreat in the heart of nature.
Nestled in a valley surrounded by pine and oak forests, our ranch is a peaceful oasis. Providing a truly immersive experience in nature. With 100 acres of pristine land creating an ideal environment for our horses to roam around freely.
At our ranch, we believe in treating animals with respect and kindness. Our horses are trained with care to maintain their spirit and magic, ensuring that their well-being is always a top priority. We do not use any animals for consumption, focusing instead on creating a harmonious environment for both humans and animals alike.
Our ranch is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, offering ample space for exploring, walking and relaxing, exhilarating horseback riding experiences, and the opportunity to observe a variety of bird species in their natural habitat.
Our international family, consisting of Stephanie (FR), Zoe, and Cheyenne (MX, homeschooled), welcomes volunteers from around the world. We speak English, Spanish, and French, ensuring that everyone feels at home in our diverse and inclusive community.
Come join us at our ranch and experience the beauty and tranquility of life in the Mexican countryside!

Enough different things to do there, we enjoyed it to have no internet for a while. If you like… read more

We spent 2 weeks at the Ranch in November and had a pretty good time!
Just a few things people should be aware of:
- there is a charge of 400 pesos a week for food, gas, wood etc.
- there is no wifi or internet around (contact family before arriving)
- it's a bit of a mission to get to a town so if you need any supplies get them… read more

I spent 2 weeks with Steph and Sam and their 2 lovely daughters. I taught classic dance to their daughters. It was a wonderful experience. The first time for me in a ranch and I have to say that I loved that and wish I could stay longer. The place is beautiful and I learnt so much in these weeks. The connection with the animals, how to cook,… read more

I had a great time here. They were still building the birdhouse when I arrived and more people were coming soon so i only stayed a week. Just a heads up there is no internet access anywhere nearby, you will need to trek back to San Cristobal for it. Also while I was there it was slow so Sam asked that I kick in on the food, only 500 pesos a week… read more
