El Coyote Ranch is remotely situated at 3,000 ft. elevation within spectacular view of the West face of the Sierra San Pedro Martir mountain range which rises to over 10,000 ft. in the state of Northern Baja California, México, 200 miles south of San Diego, California.
Lost in time, sparsely populated, you will find unaltered, virgin land where nature rules and reigns in all her glory. Especially impacting is the amazing silence; one can hear the heart beat if sufficiently still and contemplative. Healing energies abound as manifested in peace, tranquility, glorious views, stunning early and evening alpine glowing colors appear upon the hills and mountains.
El Coyote Ranch is your destination for a refreshing and revitalizing escape from the pressures of urban life and all the stressors that go with it. As soon as you turn onto the paved road leading to the National Park, you will begin to feel the calm and relaxing presence surround you.
The ranch offers a variety of activities to enjoy at one’s leisure such as
Nature walks
Boulder climbing
Horse back riding
Bicycling
Motor sports
swimming in the pool
And just plain great chilling out in remarkable comfort.
El Coyote Meling Ranch was established by Mr. Salvador Felipe Meling Johnson in 1950 as a cattle raising operation. Since then there have been four generations which continue that tradition. We raise cattle for export to México and the US. We tend to the business just as it was done 100 years ago with few exceptions. You can observe the operation first hand when you come to enjoy this unique and lost in time environment.
In the year 2000 Mrs. Jovita Zaragoza Meling, Felipe’s surviving wife, together with her children, opened the original ranch house and residence to the public as a tourist destination providing full accommodations for camping, cabin reservations and old-fashioned, home made, freshly prepared, cooked on a wood burning stove, melt in your mouth cuisine to satisfy the most demanding palette.
