Armendaris

The Experience

Sprawling across 360,000 acres in the heart of the crimson Chihuahuan desert, Armendaris embodies the very essence of southern New Mexico. This vast property is a true invitation to adventure, offering treks through semi-desert landscapes where you may encounter bison, pronghorn, and desert bighorn sheep. The ranch also provides exclusive access to the Jornada lava flow, home to one of the largest populations of Mexican free-tailed bats in the United States.

At Armendaris, you are invited to curate your own experience from an array of transformative activities. Explore southern New Mexico’s abundant wildlife, rich history, and breathtaking landscapes. Witness the awe-inspiring evening exodus of over one million Mexican free-tailed bats, embark on open-air UTV rides through rugged mountain ranges, or take to the skies in a hot air balloon above serene semi-desert terrain. Each experience at Armendaris is designed to bring you closer to nature, allowing you to craft a unique adventure with your personal guides and enjoy everything this remarkable ranch has to offer.

Hunting and Ted Turner Reserves

The earliest humans were hunter-gatherers, practicing the age-old principles of regeneration and balance. Understanding the original symbiosis of humans in our shared ecosystem provides insight into how Earth’s species were meant to co-
exist.

Exploring our role in the natural predator and prey relationship allows for greater respect of the foods we consume and promotes the balance of populations in an environment as nature intended.

In this way, Ted Turner Reserves is proud to partner with Turner Outfitting to provide opportunities for hunters to connect with nature in spectacular rewilded landscapes. These guests function as partners with biologists, as an important component in our work to create balanced, healthy, natural environments. We love helping people bring organic, grass-fed game to their plates while honoring the animal, the ecosystem, and their own health.
