La Otra Banda Ranch
La Otra Banda Ranch is located in the heart of the beautiful and historic San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. Located just 70 miles north of Taos, New Mexico and 40 miles southeast of Alamosa, CO, we offer a unique fly-fishing experience that is increasingly rare. The size of our water is misleading as becomes evident when our anglers hook into large brown trout that bulldog under deep undercut banks or large rainbows that can take the angler scrambling downstream, eagerly trying to regain line.
