Mi Abuelo Ranch is great! 5 stars

I would highly recommend spending time at this ranch. Our guide was the owner herself and her husband took us horseback riding. They showed us their beautiful farm where you find fruit trees of all kinds. They'll allowed us to relax in their coal Springs filled with natural water. The tequila tasting was so much fun and the food was tremendous. This is a must on your Puerto Vallarta trip!!

The best beans in the WORLD

A unique and magical experience at Rancho mi Abuelo. Excellent guide, company, place, and above all, the food is delicious and unique. You will find the best beans in the world here. The food is very delicious and homemade, just like when you visited your grandparents as a child. I recommend the tour and the food from this great family team.

Authentic Mexican Cooking Class

Rancho Mi Abuelo was a remarkable mountain retreat just south of Puerto Vallarta. My two friends and I participated in a private Mexican cooking class and it was fabulous. All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Our instructor took us through the preparation of pico de gallo, guacamole, roasted veggie salsa and the star of the show, chili rellenos. We were in an open air setting, under the trees and surrounded by the authentic ranch setting. The cooking was done over an open fire and ...read more

Great Experience

Owner picked me up in PV, gave me some history on the area and the Ranch. Chef Laura was awesome. Was given a tour of the Ranch property. Horses, ATV’s, Restaurant, Cabins, soaking pools, hiking, etc. Just had a great time. The best thing….the people who work on the Ranch. Super nice and gracious. Highly recommend. ❤️
