Located just an hour south of San Diego in Tecate, Baja Mexico, Rancho La Puerta is the oldest – and one of the most esteemed – health resorts and destination spas in North America. The resort is located on 3,000 acres of mountains and meadows beneath the sacred Mount Kuchumaa. With its eucalyptus- and rosemary-scented grounds, extraordinary gardens, winding brick pathways and extensive organic farm, Rancho La Puerta is an oasis for those escaping cold and dreary winters elsewhere.
In the afternoons, you can choose from the full range of fitness and health spa activities, including cardio, dance, pilates, water aerobics, tai chi, NIA, stretch, posture, core, weight training – and much more -- all taught by the Ranch’s top-of-their-game instructors in beautifully appointed gyms and studios. The Ranch has three health centers that offer massage and other body treatments, hot tubs, steam rooms and saunas. There are also “inner self” classes (meditation, chanting) as well as a variety of evening lectures and presentations, all open to Mountain Trek guests. Weight Loss Spa Vacations at Rancho La Puerta you can have both a separate, intimate Mountain Trek experience guided by our own staff and a chance to sample the extraordinary variety of this resort.

You hike through meadows and woodlands, alongside streams and creeks and up into a high chaparral country dotted with enormous, sculptural boulders. The vistas are bold – pristine canyons, verdant agricultural valleys – and the hikes as inspiring as they are invigorating.
At our program at Rancho La Puerta we help you to establish healthy habits that you can take home with you. Guests come to relax, renew, and reclaim their vitality. Most of the facilities and lodgings are sprinkled amidst world-class gardens. Probably the world’s first “eco” health spa resort, the Ranch practices sustainable organic gardening and resource conservation, and leads the way in environmental protection and education in the region. Nestled in the mountains between sea and desert, the year-round climate, is nearly perfect, with sunshine over 325 days a year.
The Ranch is unlike many other fitness spa retreats as they own their own trails over miles and miles of meadows, hills, and mountains that wind through boulder-strewn wild lands. Many of the trails are suitable for all levels of hiking. Experienced hikers and trekkers can enjoy the more challenging trails all of which are led by our experienced Mountain Trek guides.
