Volunteers commit to a stay of approximately 10 weeks

At the ranch we work with 25 horses, undertaking tours from 2 hours to 11 days. We have some cabins for our guests to stay.
Besides our Chilean staff of two permanent guides/workers and two Arrieros we work with international helpers, one to five at a time. Their job is all the work around the rides, getting the horses from their paddocks, preparing the horses, as well as all kind of work around our guests, as preparing and serving breakfast, cleaning cabins and so on.
In main season we ride at least on short tour per day,
As a helper you schould - after a time of learning - be able to guide short tours with up to 6 guests on your own and accompany several day rides.

To work on several day rides it is essential that you speak some Spanish so you can communicate with our arriero guides. Without Spanish you can still work with us but only in the area of short rides and care taking.
