What to do and see in San Juan del Sur, Rivas Department: The Best Things to do Adventurous

June 23, 2021 Phylicia Berquist

This beautiful fishing village is a Nicaraguan gem, a magnet for surfers and sunbathers. At night, the beach still pulses with activity, thanks to a few popular beachfront bars and nightclubs. Surf clubs abound—catch a wave with an expert instructor if you’re a hang-ten rookie, trying to hang with the surfer big boys.

Rancho Chilamate

Rancho Chilamate offers guided horseback rides for adventurous travelers looking to get up close and personal with Nicaragua. The ride leaves from the ranch through the local community, into open fields and over hilltops for spectacular views, crossing the river several times for excellent wildlife viewing (almost guaranteed to see monkeys) and then to the secluded beach for a refreshment break and more riding adrenalin.This solar-powered private ranch caters to smaller, more intimate groups to ensure only the best of service. Let's Ride!

Went on a trail ride down to the beach and back to the ranch. What an amazing time we had. First time riding horses for all of us including our little ones. The staff and Blue made us all feel right at home and felt really safe at all times. The views were so beautiful! Loved everything about our time there from dressing up as cowboys and cowgirls, to seeing monkeys on our trail ride, to our conversations with the staff! And the professional photos that were taken came out so good. Highly recommend! Our guides were so patient with our little ones and very helpful! A must do if you’re ever down in San Juan de Sur! Thankful for the memories we get to keep for our whole family!
