Tierra Chamahua EcoAdventures at Rancho Los Banos
Rancho Los Baņos is a 30,000 acre privately owned nature preserve and working cattle ranch located at the foot of the Sierra Madre, just 60 miles south of the Arizona-Sonora border. The ranch is isolated and secluded, thus having habitats that are pristine and unspoiled, as well as flora and fauna that have been protected for decades. Once here, you will not see a sign of civilization for miles. This land is a wilderness area that, were it located in the United States, would possibly be considered a national park, with comparisons to Zion and Big Bend National Parks having been made by past guests.
Los Baņos is located in the middle of an important north-south migratory birding corridor that provides the ranch with a magnificent assortment of bird life throughout the year. The ranch's vegetation makes for an ideal birding hot spot. Our wildlife is also abundant, with coyote, mountain lion, javalina, coues white tailed deer, coatimundi, fox, skunk, and the occasional jaguar and black bear calling the ranch home.
From riverbed, riparian habitats, full of sycamore, walnut, cottonwood and mesquite trees, to boxed canyons, with temperatures and ecosystems more fitting to temperate climates rather than desert habitats, to open desert terrain full of ocotillo, organ pipe cactus, desert palm trees and mesquite, to mid-elevation hills full of lush grass and bush trees, to high elevation mountains full of oak and ponderosa pine, Los Baņos offers the avid nature lover a great opportunity to see myriad numbers of diverse species, be it flora or fauna.
Combined with the majestic El Cajon Canyon, Dave's Cajon, El Pinito foothills and El Alamo/El Palmarito river bed system, Lake Angostura (20 miles long and completely isolated) and the spectacular Bavispe River (which unwinds dozens of miles through amazing canyon scenery), this region of northeast Sonora is poised to become a true outdoors mecca.
Rancho Los Baņos is ideally situated less than one mile to both the lake and river, with boat, canoe and kayak expeditions available to explore either, or both. We also offer a Bavispe River Trekking Expedition, a 2-3 day trekking adventure that hugs the river and takes us down stunning canyon scenery to the town of San Juan.
With so many diverse habitats, encompassing lake, river, mountain, canyon and riparian ecosystems, avid nature lovers are sure to enjoy their stay. Combined with great accommodations and service, Mexican hospitality that is second to none, close proximity to the United States, staying in pristine and isolated land, and a natural scenery that is spectacular to see, Rancho Los Baņos, through our tourism branch, Tierra Chamahua EcoAdventures, is sure to make your stay a very enjoyable one.
