This is not an offer for a Job. Rancho Chilamate offers housing, food, access to transportation, a monthly stipend… and some cowboyin’ fun. We are an intimate Solar powered Guest Ranch offering guided horse back tours with 4 rooms for overnight guests.

 

What we are looking for in a couple

  • 1 of you MUST be a very experienced rider with a good knowledge of western riding (and be able to provide riding lessons to beginners). The other should have some experience or be willing to learn fast

  • You must be able to drive a ‘manual shift’ vehicle
  • Candidate(s) should have intermediate or higher level Spanish, be very comfortable in nature, and be interested in exploring a sustainable, off-grid lifestyle.
  • You are well traveled and comfortable living in a foreign culture. Ideally this is not your first time to Central America.
  • You enjoy photography and are willing to photograph our tours and do post editing of the images.
