Rancho Guajome Adobe

Join us for a visit to Rancho Guajome Adobe Ranch House in Vista. This is an authentic 1850s adobe hacienda. Listed in the National Register of Historic Places, the 22-room, 7,000-square-foot historic adobe served as the headquarters of Rancho Guajome, a Mexican land grant. The large rambling Spanish Colonial style hacienda has two courtyards, an arcaded veranda, plus a chapel in a former small house.

The adobe is surrounded by 112-acre wetland open space County park that is home to a variety of wildlife such as raccoons, ring-necked pheasants, white-tailed kites, least Bell's vireo and the great horned owl.

We will meet at 9:30 am, which is their opening time. Please be on time, as we will enter as a group at 9:30 sharp! There is a $3 per person admission fee. Please bring $3 cash with exact change to speed up our entrance! There is plenty of free parking, and restrooms are available near the parking.

Once we individually pay and enter as a group, we will take the group photo and then feel free to spread out to throughout the spacious hacienda and courtyards. I would suggest a wide-angle to short zoom.
