harmoniously amidst Arizona’s rugged desert landscape
Set at the base of the Rincon Mountains, Tanque Verde combines unbridled (and beginner friendly) horseback adventures with plush, southwestern style guestrooms.
Founded in 1868 and imbued with the spirit of the old west, Tanque Verde ranks amongst America’s finest dude ranches. With its traditional adobe walls and Santa Fe-style architecture, the 60,000-acre property sits harmoniously amidst Arizona’s rugged desert landscape.
At Tanque Verde you’ll be able to see life through the eyes of the cowboys of old, riding horseback on well-trained steeds and soaking in the beautiful scenery of Saguaro National Park. You’ll also be able to enjoy guided hikes, biking, fishing and mountain climbing, as well an array of more leisurely pursuits that include yoga, art classes and tennis on the ranch’s own courts. Children, meanwhile, are catered for with riding lessons, guided fishing and fun nature walks.
Whether you opt for a soothing massage or refreshing skin treatment, Tanque Verde’s La Sonora Spa is the perfect antidote after the rigours of a day in the desert. You can also cool off with a dip in the spa’s indoor pool, complete with picturesque views of the mountain landscapes beyond.
