Our story

El Ranchito Mío began in 2020, in a time of big challenges. After losing our jobs in tourism because of the pandemic, we decided to turn our property into a place of hope. What started as a space for disconnection and retreat—for people who needed nature as a contrast to city lockdown—grew through word of mouth from those who visited us.

That first spark grew into a destination full of adrenaline and adventure. Today we are a family business passionate about excellent service, always improving to exceed expectations. When you visit, you not only live a unique experience—you support Bajo Rodríguez and a project born from effort and dedication.
