Try the job board also at http://www.aacircle.com.au/esl-job-circle.htm. There may be something there.
Good luck!

I did apply to that posting for Costa Rica. I was asked for a copy of my resume. That was about a month ago and I haven't heard a peep from them since.
I notice that with a lot of Latin American postings. I've applied to maybe 150-200 in the last three months. I'd estimate that about 10% have responded. Of those, they usually ask for more details, so I send a resume and then hear no further.
Maybe only one year of experience just isn't enough. I had one person tell me she'd only consider hiring me if I had an MA and 5 to 8 years of experience...
Oh well, I guess I can always get a job at Starbucks.

: The problem with all of Latin America is that schools simply don't
: advertise. The vast majority of schools will only hire people
: who walk into the office for an interview.
: I'm in the same boat as I want to work in Latin America but simply
: can't find much posted on the internet either.
: Your best bet may well be to fly to a city you like with a little
: money in the bank and then start knocking on school doors.
Please take a look at this post from a teacher in Costa Rica:
