Our ranch is not like other ranches; it’s a pretty well-kept secret (that we are happy to share with those who do find us!) hidden in the jungle, in a rustic, ecological and natural environment.We have a few, but very important priorities. Number one is that our horses stay happy and healthy, and you, as our future or returning guests, are number two. We do not mean this in an offensive manner, but our horses’ well-being is not negotiable. “ Baaxal ” is a Mayan word meaning “a place to have fun” and we strongly believe that if our horses are happy and are having fun, so will you.Our family at Rancho Baaxal has a huge love and respect for animals and we use non-violent training methods and only positive reinforcement and communication with our horses .If you share our philosophy and love for nature, you are sure to enjoy time spent with our horses. As a bonus we’ll give you the opportunity to ride through rich, unspoiled tropical foliage and on Maroma Beach, ranked by the Travel Channel as one of the world’s Top Ten Most Beautiful Beaches four years in a row.
