“Beautiful secluded ranch in the middle of nature with amazing host”

We had a great experience from the start with Mario picking us up from the Chepe train station in Bahuichivo. We were taken to the ranch which he runs with his family and we felt straight at home. Location is 8km out of Ceracohui in the middle of nature. The cabanas were beautiful and very clean, the ranch was spacious with lots of cute animals, seating areas and a viewing deck looking out on the canyon. As it’s rather remote, you will eat at the ranch. The food is all home made and tasted amazing. Mario can help organise all kind of tours from horse riding to hiking and a visit to Urique (bottom of the canyon).

“Rural remote setting, expensive tours, not winter ready”

Wonderful location in the wild with scenic views and full ecological surrounding (animals, stars...)

“beautiful”

beautiful location! if you want to see the copper canyons this is definitely a place you can see them from and get a feel for.

“Amazing stay between the canyons!”

We got the cabaña on the very end of the terrain, near the cliff. Exceptionally beautiful view over the mountains and at night lots of stars. Every meal is great and consists of three courses (soup, main, desert). Great breakfast as well! Mario and his familiy are very nice and offer several hikes, tours and the ritual of the Temazcal (prepare for some heat!). We stayed five nights which we heard was a record, but be assured that a longer stay than 1 or 2 nights is worth your while.

Mario and family are very welcoming, he has many good ideas for things to do and of course it's a beautiful place to stay. Also the food is excellent and home grown.

“Great experience!”

We usually don't write reviews but I this is an exception as we very much liked the place! We loved that it is ran by locals and that they support the Raramuri community and that you can get to know their culture! Also the rooms are beautiful and the food was great ;)

Absolutely amazing place and amazing host. Food was delicious, the cabin we git had the most amazing view. Strongly recommend to stay here at least a few nights

Stunning location in the mountains with individual cottages. The food is excellent and there are plenty options for activities like horseback riding or visiting the Urique cañon. Very friendly family operated business. Pick up and drop off at the train station worked very well too

“The magic of travelling brought us there, make it happen for you too”

We found the Lodge by accident and were more than happy! Mario, Dido, Magarita and the whole family treated us very well and offered tours into the area or recommanded hiking rutes too. We loved the animales and wild life there but also the tranquility and excellent food! Important to know is that you have to leave the train in Bahuichivo and not like we thought in Divisadero! Thats 1,5h away but luckily Mario picked us up :) It was definitely a highlight of our 3 months road trip through Mexico! tks again!

“Wish our stay could have been much longer at Rancho Cabanas San Isidro!”

Mario was an excellent host and so was his staff. Besides taking us on a guided hike and pointing out the local birds and plants, Mario also made great pitchers of margaritas for our small group. His cook Margarita whipped up great meals. He also arranged for a Tarahumara guide to accompany some of us as we walked back to the train station. We went down to the Urique River at the bottom of the canyon riding on the top of Mario's Surburban which provided incredible vistas. We also had lunch at his brother's place right on the river. Mario was so knowledgeable about the indigenous people, their culture and traditions, and Copper Canyon in general.
