My first horse riding experience was in Mexico where I shortly found out I was allergic to horses. Turned out to be not the best day. The second time was in the Grand Teton National Forest. Knowing I was allergic to horses I didn't touch mine, but instead grabbed every plant in arms reach and was of course allergic to... More

If you could do one thing, and only one thing, on your trip to SJDS, be sure to make it a ride at Ranco Chilamate. Jamie and Blue treat you like family from the moment you meet them, and are overall just the friendliest people. They have every aspect of the day planned to a tee, and are sure to... More

I live in Nicaragua a year now and was finally able to go on a ride with Rancho Chilamate with my best friend who visited me. I knew Blue & Jamie before so i already knew that they are super friendly and funny! Their Ranch is beautiful and they make you feel very welcome from the first second you enter... More

We are so grateful that we discovered this hidden gem in Nicaragua and had the opportunity to spend the morning with Jaime and Blue. From the high quality horses, the beautiful scenery including trees filled with howler monkeys to a great ride on a spectacular beach- the day could not have been better. Jaime and Blue are amazing people who... More

These guys/ gals were the best ever. Jamie and Blue treated us to a wonderful experience and felt like just hanging out with the family, If you are in San Juan Del Sur and don't go riding...you are missing a chance of a life time!

The sights were beautiful. They gave me a cold beer to enjoy when we took a break on a private beach. But my favorite... More

The timing was right for low tide to match our hours in port, I had pre-lived this day through TripAdvisor reviews and the Rancho Chilimate Facebook posts, and it indeed WAS the perfect way to spend our day in San Juan del Sur from start to finish. Believe all the great reviews; Jamie and Blue do an amazing job of... More

As soon as I found Rancho Chilamate on Tripadvisor, and read all of the reviews, I knew this was something I needed to do while I was in Nicaragua. My mom and I went together and Blue and Jamie were awesome hosts and guides and were very accommodating. My mom needed a smaller sized saddle and they were happy to... More

Every year I spend 3 months in SJdS . In 2011 I discovered Rancho Chilamate, and I try to spend as much time as I can riding with Jamie and Blue ! Last week was a special ride for me, as it was my 20th ride!! A couple years ago I fell in love with "Bandito", one of Jamie and... More
