Mary Jane and the team at Rancho Pitaya are offering, throughout the week, private and small-group outdoor activities around her ranch in the valley of Tlacolula.

The children learn how to safely ride by doing a series of fun gymnastics on horseback. Everyone explores the interesting surroundings that include giant cacti and a visit the other horses near their paddock.

Oaxaca is one of the world’s great birding hotspots. Bird watching is a perfect way to spend time immersed in the outdoors.  For the avid birder with a life list, a handful of rare endemic species can be readily observed in the local habitat.

World-class hiking in exotic native flora. Walk out from the ranch and hike into fascinating ecosystems with drop-dead gorgeous views. Every step of the trail is rich in biodiversity and geological wonder.
