Discovering the Ranch

Rancho Mi Abuelo sits along the Vallejo River in Ejido El Jorullo, a short drive from Puerto Vallarta's bustling center. This family-owned property spans verdant hills where visitors immerse themselves in rural Mexican life. Guests arrive to the scent of grilling meats and fresh tortillas made from on-site grown corn. The ranch's riverside setting features natural pools for swimming, hammocks swaying in the breeze, and shaded loungers overlooking the Sierra Madre jungle.

Culinary Delights

The restaurant serves traditional dishes like zarandeado fish, barbacoa, fajitas, tacos, and grilled seafood platters accompanied by guacamole, quesadillas, and chiles toreados. Everything emphasizes fresh, local ingredients harvested from the ranch. House-distilled tequila and mezcal tastings highlight regional flavors, often paired with hands-on cooking classes where participants learn to craft homemade tortillas and basics of a Mexican table. Meals unfold in a casual open-air space with river views, fostering a communal dining vibe.

Adventure and Leisure

Beyond dining, the ranch buzzes with activities. Horseback rides traverse jungle trails along the river, revealing local flora and fauna under expert guides. Paintball fields with natural obstacles like wooden walls, tires, and barricades host strategic battles suitable for groups, teams, or birthday celebrations. Natural river pools invite cooling swims, while hammocks offer tranquil repose amid the tropical surroundings.

Family Legacy and Hospitality

Founded by a patriarch who crafted this paradise, the ranch remains a family affair. Warm hosts welcome all ages, providing security briefings, water, and transport options for tours. Packages blend food, tastings, and adventures, with durations around three hours. Open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, it caters to day trippers seeking respite from beach crowds.

Practical Magic

Affordable adventures make it accessible, with custom packages for families, companies, or schools. The blend of authenticity, nature, and fun creates lasting memories in a magical setting where mountains meet river currents.
