Ranchito Cascabel: a surreal site
Also known as Timmyland, it is located on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende, just 25 minutes from the city center.
It is a private house that was built under the slogan of creating a place where everything was possible with a retro and futuristic style architecture at the same time. The design of
Ranchito Cascabel was inspired by the Antoni Gaudi style, who is considered the greatest exponent of Catalan modernism.
You will be fascinated by this place populated by giant sculptures of rattlesnakes and other zoomorphic figures.

The architectural style that characterizes the place, by Steve Kornher and design by Bob Hoss, is known as Flying Concrete; their works are inspired by nature and with a deep religious symbolism.
