You have your chance at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelin, located in the heart of Costa Ricas Guanacaste ranch land at the foot of Rincn de la Vieja Volcano. Spend the day being a cowboy or cowgirl on our ranch in the company of our real, authentic Sabaeros Guanacastecos (Guanacaste cowboys). Its an early start for ranch life 5:45 AM! You will begin by helping the ranch hands milk the cows at the stables. The fresh milk is brought to our restaurant kitchen every morning to be processed and served at breakfast. After milking, you will go for breakfast in the restaurant and return to get ready to ride out on the ranch. Your tour will vary depending on that days chores that need to be done. Some of the activities you may participate in include working in the stables and corral, saddling and readying the horses, herding cattle or horses, checking cattle in the far pastures, fixing fences, etc. Either a picnic lunch, or lunch in our hotel restaurant, is included in the tour.
