Every time I visit the Rancho I return home transformed. My husband and I stay in one of the casitas (little houses). It is our home away from home. Things I will remember from this trip: riding to the waterfall picnic on elegant, sure-footed Da Vinci, galloping on Tequila, sitting in the hot tub next to the waterfall beneath the... more

Back in SF after another week in a place that I can hardly believe exists. In the saddle 6-7 hrs a day, thru open fields where farmers plow fields with Oxen, elaborately watered with an irrigation system hundreds of years old. Shepherds driving their herds of cattle and sheep down the stony roads. An afternoon riding break spent drinking Victoria... more

Our family of 5 (kids 14, 13 and 11) had a fantastic time at this beautiful ranch set in the desert north of Mexico City - desert because it was dry season - would love to go back during rainy season to see the green and flowers. Dry season was great though, because theere was so much land to ride... more

I traveled with my three teenage kids to Rancho Las Cascadas over the holiday vacation. It was the first time in 23 years that my husband could not join us on vacation. Uschi and the rest of the amazing staff at the ranch made us feel like visiting family from the moment we arrived. Our bags were not even out... more

This was the greatest vacation of our lives! Uschi has created a paradise. The food was outstanding! The horses are gorgeous and the most sure-footed in the world. I am a much better rider than when I arrived. We will go back and back and back! The hot tub is in full view of the nearby waterfall. Margaritas made with... more

Already a month has passed since we’re back home from our great riding holiday at Rancho Las Cascadas. We spent an absolutely wonderful week and think back often and with great pleasure. Uschi and her staff made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The rooms and the whole ranch are beautiful and everything is decorated with great... more

Rancho Cascadas is an excellent place for riding aficionados. The horses are really good, all stallions and geldings but well mannered and great agility. Unlike so many places these horses - depending on your riding skills - can actually canter and gallop, and the terrain enables it. The food is ok, better when they serve Mexican style than try to... more

As a beginner on the first ridingtrip with my family of five I was a bit scared of this adventure. Going out to the ranch on roads that doubtfully could be called roads I was even more suspicious about what we had gotten us into. But when the Ranch appeared as an oasis with beautiful gardens and a very warm... more

My 10 yr old daughter and I booked this trip together. Traveling alone with her to Mexico felt a little ambitious and challenging....not to mention riding out in the open and galloping. But from the time we were off the plane until we reboarded we were completely taken care of. The accomodations, the friendly staff, the food, the birds and... more
