Family Dude Ranch Day in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico—Milking Cows, Horseback Rides, and Making Rancho Cheese

Rancho Xotolar is a family-operated “working ranch” that has been in the Morin Ruiz family for over four generations. Our family took an all-day tour and horseback ride through its rustic canyons just an hour outside of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. We enjoyed milking cows, making cheese, riding horses, and making scratch tacos over an open fire with fresh-harvested cactus (prickly pear), potatoes, rancho cheese (made earlier), beans, and homemade blue corn tortillas.
