Rancho La Escondida is a family owned and operated cattle ranch in the Burro Mountains of north-central Coahuila, Mexico.

Within the 35,000 acres that make up the ranch, elevations range from 3250 feet at headquarters (at the airstrip) to about 5500 feet on the mountain-tops.

The mountains are limestone and the vegetation is made up of pin-oak and deciduous woodlands and native grasslands.

The water supply on the ranch comes from numerous small springs which have been developed in order to provide water for the needs at headquarters as well as for the livestock and wildlife.

Our game species are Carmen Mountain Whitetail deer and
Rio Grande wild turkey.

However, there are numerous other species of wildlife which offer magnificent photo opportunities. Some of the more entertaining of these are Mexican black bear, grey fox and tree and rock squirrels. Also, there are a great variety of birds: golden eagles, hawks and falcons; woodpeckers, jays, bluebirds, cardenals and all kinds of sparrows.
