Bed & Breakfast at Rancho Aurora

Named for the golden morning light of dawn, Rancho Aurora is located outside Oaxaca City in the Etla valley and is a wonderful getaway from the world at large.

Our new Bed and Breakfast is an artistic three room adobe house situated on the hill above the cooking school, constructed in the typical Mexican style with large patio that has a spectacular view of the valley. The house is very comfortable, with all the modern conveniences, including a full kitchen and large bathroom with sunken tub. Typical breakfasts are prepared by our staff to your liking.

The bedroom has a double bed and the living room has a futon couch that lowers into a double bed. The front patio has hammocks for relaxing, and beautiful plants all around. It is a great find for honeymooners, bird watchers, artists, writers and independent people who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It is not for people who need to go to the Zócalo every night, but rather for folks that are independent and seek the quieter, countryside of life.

Since we are not near local transportation (a 20 minute walk to the nearest bus stop, 35 minute walk to the taxi stand in the village), renting a car is recommended, or we can arrange a car and driver for you. There are many hiking destinations including an extension of Monte Alban and other pre-Hispanic ruins. The villages within walking distance are friendly and safe.
