Someday dreamed of being a cowboy or sabanero? Riding the field under a blue sky without end, herding cattle and horses, and enjoying the freedom of open spaces?
You have the opportunity at Hotel Hacienda Guachipelín, located in the heart of the hacienda land in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, at the foot of the Rincon de la Vieja Volcano. Experience a day as a cowboy in our ranch in the company of an authentic Guanacastean Sabanero, as this is how Costa Rican cowboys are known and his name is given because they spent hours and hours looking after animals in the great Guanacaste savanna.

Fresh milk arrives in the kitchen of our restaurant every morning to be processed and served at breakfast. After milking, you can go to breakfast at the restaurant and return to get ready to ride on the farm.
