The name translates to roadhouse or country inn, a place for early travelers between the missions of La Paz and Santiago. The rich history and many artifacts unearthed here suggest it was a hub for access to the Sierra de San Antonio, the mountain range that is the backbone of Baja Sur, running from Los Cabos north to the Sierra de Laguna. Like many early ranch settings, La Venta is an oasis of springs and open surface water. Large Palo Chino trees line the arroyos of the area and at 2000 ft. you will find Encino or Oak trees which get more prevalent with a rise in elevation. Abundant wildlife is a common sight on trail rides and hikes. Birding at the cusp of the foothills is considered world class by many experts who have visited the ranch.
