All-Inclusive Ranches and Lodges
The American and South American version, where the rate buys a horse, a guide and a fly rod instead of a swim-up bar. Montana, Wyoming and Colorado ranches such as The Ranch at Rock Creek, Triple Creek, Brush Creek and Paws Up put three meals, the wine and most of the activity list into one nightly figure, and the Patagonian and Atacama lodges of Explora, Awasi and Tierra do the same with expedition guiding and airport transfers. We rank on how many activities carry a supplement, whether the transfer is in, what the bar covers, and the gratuity policy, which at an American ranch is usually a percentage added at checkout and worth knowing in advance. African safari camps run on a different model and are not listed here.
