Travel Information
Traveling to Mexico is typically fast and easy!
PASSPORT
PLEASE BRING YOUR VALID PASSPORT.*
*Those with Sentri Cards must still bring passports.
WHAT TO BRING:
What to wear…and bring: Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes for walking and pack lightly, preferably in a backpack, as you will be doing a fair amount of walking with your personal belongings. Dress in exercise attire, bring a hat and a bathing suit (optional). Please bring a water bottle, as water will not be provided. Our Health Centers include lockers, hot tubs, and steam and sauna rooms. Cell phone use on the grounds is limited to designated areas. Please respect the needs of other guests who appreciate our atmosphere of being a restful, tranquil, tech-free escape.
YOUR DAY:
Physical requirements: Rancho La Puerta is a place that grew over many years into a garden-path environment where walking is viewed as enjoyable exercise—and yes, you will be walking! If hiking is difficult for you, or if you have trouble navigating steps, slightly uneven brick paths, rustic tile floors, and being “out in the rows” in the vegetable garden, then “Saturdays at The Ranch” is not for you. We are very sorry but we also cannot accommodate aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, etc.
SPA:
Spa Treatments: You may pre-book a treatment once you have confirmed your Saturday at The Ranch reservation. Your credit card will be charged upon confirmation of your treatment time. Gratuity optional; must be paid in cash after treatment.

The 22.3-mile stretch between Jamacha Junction and Tecate is a very scenic road through the mountains, but also “curvy” in many parts. Our drivers are careful and considerate, but if you have a tendency toward motion sickness, please consider a motion-sickness medication. A light snack will be provided, but water will not. Please bring a personal water bottle.
*We ask guests to please refrain from consuming alcohol while being transported to and from Rancho La Puerta.
