Half Day

Activity Overview

You have the opportunity to experience life at Hacienda Guachipelín, located in the heart of the Guanacaste hacienda lands at the foot of Rincón de la Vieja Volcano, Costa Rica. Spend a day working as a sabanero on our ranch, accompanied by an authentic Guanacaste cowhand. The name “sabanero” comes from the hours they spend caring for animals across the vast Guanacaste savannah.
 

The day begins early, at 5:45 a.m., with participation in the morning cow milking at the hacienda. The fresh milk collected is used daily in our restaurant kitchen. Breakfast is not included in the tour. After milking, you will prepare for a horseback ride to begin the day’s ranch activities. The itinerary varies depending on daily tasks, which may include working in stables and corrals, saddling and preparing horses, herding cattle, checking livestock in distant pastures, repairing fences, and more. This adventure includes a boxed lunch to enjoy during the day.
 

All activities are guided by one of our experienced sabaneros, and helmets are required for all participants. We recommend wearing closed-toe shoes and long pants or knee-length shorts for safety and comfort.
