A must-stop for habanero chili aficionados, this roadside ranch sells a variety of enticing hot sauces and jams, such as fiery horneado (roasted peppers) and mango-flavored salsas. You can also buy hand-crafted kitchen items here, such as wooden pestles and mortars for making your own salsas at home. The signed rancho is 5km east of the Hwy 307 turnoff to Mahahual.
