Rancho La Puerta Fitness Resort & Spa, Mexico
Native Americans held this citadel of boulders and fragrant sage sacred for thousands of years: they called Mt. Kuchumaa the "high exalted place". In more recent times, the powerful blue shoulders of the peak, only 45 miles southeast of San Diego, California, have guarded Rancho La Puerta, the world’s first "destination fitness resort and spa" - a sanctuary of nature, organic cuisine, and famous mind/body/spirit programs.Rancho La Puerta is a sheltered village oasis of uncommon beauty, service, authenticity and harmony... a haven of 3,000 acres of private mountains and meadows... a peaceful retreat where the finest organic vegetarian cuisine, a world-renowned fitness program, individual cottages set in colorful gardens, and a deep spiritual connection with mystical Mt. Kuchumaa attract guests from around the world.
