Puppies and kittens, horses and chickens coexist in harmony with the environment, being an important part of our staff. Check our website for special fees and activities.

Neighborhood info

The Colorado River valley, located in the San Esteban, is a mountainous area little known in the region. Our Casona, located at the beginning of the valley, offers an excellent perspective for walks around this mountainous area. Its untouched flora and fauna stand out, as well as places where condors can be seen at low altitude.
