πŸŒ„ Good morning!β˜• Interesting questions ...

"Do the ranches in those photos produce milk, cheese, and meat and exist as tourist destinations?"

I am no expert, but I believe you would find these ranches focus almost exclusively on providing meat. Dairies are typically found in different parts of the country, at lower elevations than what I am showing on this trip.

"Do those ranches make money as tourist attractions and lodging establishments?"

Yes, some of them, as I have provided links here and there. This would generate additional income, but I have no idea how much this adds to their overall family income. I'd say, however, most of them do not do this, preserving their privacy and focusing exclusively on ranching.

"Have you stayed as a tourist at the ranches?"

No. Maybe some day!
