We are a scenic nature and adventure travel destination and pristine wilderness preserve enveloped by some of the most unique, inspiring, diverse and spectacular desert landscapes anywhere.

Yet we know that our ranch is not for everyone. We are secluded, away from it all, in remote, wild, rugged and vast wilderness that is far removed from city noises and city lights. We are away from the wired world but connected to the natural world. We are not a typical 200 acre guest ranch meant for mass consumption. Here, distances are vast yet the views endless. Roads are wild yet thrilling. Nights are dark yet amazing. The quiet is profound yet deafening. The wilderness is desert yet exotic. One cannot imagine 30,000 acres until experienced first-hand. Our adventures are in unspoiled wilderness, not in manicured, trimmed, populated, artificial and controlled settings. This is what makes us special, and unique. These are some reasons why Rancho Los Banos is one of the world's ideal adventure travel destinations.

Hidden for centuries from the growth of humanity, protected by true conservationist and environmental stewards, Rancho Los Banos remains one of North Americas and the Southwest's best kept secrets, a hidden jewel few have seen, a combination of natural beauty, unspoiled habitats, untamed land and serene peace and tranquility. Rancho Los Banos is truly a land that time forgot, commonly described as a land lost in time, the last frontier, and some of the wildest country you will ever see.
