Rancho la Puerta, Tecate, Mexico – Rancho la Puerta offers an abundance of fitness classes, hiking opportunities for the beginner to advanced, cooking demos, lectures and plenty of options for pampering in their health centers. Meals are nourishing, vegetarian and simply delicious. The ‘rooms’ are really casitas and they’re spacious and decorated with folkloric Mexican art and very comfortable. Take the time to ‘meander the paths’ at the Ranch and you might just find your life will open up to unlimited possibilities.

And, for a limited time, Rancho la Puerta has extended their partial stays through the week of Feb. 14th. Transfers are only included on Saturdays, however there is a cab service from San Diego airport that costs about $100 (per car, not per person).

And we can still get 2008 rates for 2009 stays. I’ve included some highlights for upcoming weeks…….are you ready to make those changes you promised yourself…are you looking for a fitness class that is better suited to you, do you want to learn how to cook healthy, are you ready to tap into your inner artist, or perhaps a topic like Feeding the Future will inspire and motivate you? Take a look….you’re sure to find something that interests you. Spa Vacation Experts can help you find the destination spa that fits you best and your budget. Rancho la Puerta is one of those options. Let’s all do what we can to create and enjoy the best year ever!
