Rancho Baaxal was created for people who enjoy riding, or who want to try riding for the first time, in a non-commercial natural environment. At Baaxal we treat people the way we would like to be treated ourselves; more like friends than like customers. This explains why we refuse to grow and have more than 10 horses. Small groups will always be our focus. The well-being and happiness of our guests and, of course, of our horses is what matters most.

We treat our horses as if they were part of our family. Each horse only does 1 or 2 tours a day, spending the rest of its time relaxing and getting fat!

Horses are a passion to Swedish ranch owner, Lisa. The ranch is more of a hobby than a business to her. Lisa was looking for a home for her horse Nay when she ended up finding this small rustic ranch in paradise-like Maroma. A few months later, in early 2008, Lisa was offered to take over the ranch, and some of the horses that were already there, and opened it to the public. Later on, the family grew bigger when Lisa offered a better home to several other not so lucky horses with a tough background. The idea of a different kind of ranch – less commercial, more natural, more rustic, more private, more homey - was born. Rancho Baaxal has been serving happy guests in a family-style atmosphere ever since.
