| Notes: | Moonbeam Ranch was our own home for 15 years and has been renovated to offer you a beautifully decorated home. It has all modern comforts. It is secluded enough to offer you complete privacy and peace yet close to the road to the nearby village if your goal is to make contact with rural folk. Daily maid service is provided in the price and for $10/day extra you can have complete cook/babysitter/laundry services. Horses on the ranch can be made available to you with or without a local guide to explore the many trails. The large patio with patio furniture, picnic table with umbrellas and hammocks under the shady terrace is a wonderful place to absorb the peace and sunshine of our valley. The high altitude tropical climate had a midday high of 75-85 degrees. The early morning and evenings are cool. The top of the mountain on the ranch is flat and has an easy trail for walking up where you can enjoy fantastic sunsets and 360 views overlooking the volcanic peaks. |
