Rancho La Puerta, Bella Vista

�What may seem far out today, can well be tomorrow�s reality� In 1940, before the fitness craze was part of pop culture, RLP initiated the �fitness Week� which is different classes every hour on the hour�. Founded on sacred Native American land, nestled in the shadow of 3885� Mt. Kuchumaa, it is named a National Historic Site based on spiritual significance. The underlying motto: Relax, Renew, Reflect and Redirect one�s longer-living life.� The beautifully landscaped property feels like a private Ranch with facilities and lodging scattered throughout. It is the pre-cursor to the �eco-resort� model, by utilizing sustainable organic gardening and resource conservation, paving the pathway for the region. What could be more healthful than eating produce from their very own organic farm, Rancho Tres Estrellas. You are whisked to your room, or casita which is adheres to the �plenty of space� motto and although not fancy or luxe, the accommodations are charming and perfectly �Mexican�, with tiled floors, wood-beamed ceilings, some with wood-burning fireplaces, a lovely private patio and lots of original regional artifacts and wall hangings. The artistic accessories add a personal touch of warmth. The fitness facilities are astounding with eleven gyms, over 22,000 sq. feet. This is the most complete program of any fitness resort/spa with over 70 different indoor and outdoor classes and activicties. Including over 50 lectures, discussions, and special guest presentations with renown authors and people of notoriety in their respective fields.
