Lodge at Rancho Aribabi
El Aribabi Conservation Ranch will provide your group with all the comforts of home surrounded by 10,000 acres of natural beauty. The Spanish Revival style ranch house is spacious and comfortable including a fully appointed kitchen, six bedrooms with private bath, and a large living/meeting room .
A deep veranda wraps two sides of the house where guests may relax while watching barn swallows swoop overhead, humming birds attack the feeders, and observe some of the nearly 200 species of other birds flit through the high canopy above the Rio Cocospera.
Most of the trails that run through the ranch can be navigated with high clearance vehicles; others will require 4-wheel drive. Senor Carlos Robles Elias, your host, will provide you with directions and advice.
Included is the traditional welcome dinner on the second night of your stay. All other meals are your responsibility.
Because the ranch is nestled deep in the mountains no cell or internet signals reach the area.
