This horseback riding tour was hands down one of the highlights of our entire South American trip. In Europe, trail rides are often strictly regulated—if you aren't an experienced rider, guides usually hold your horse on a lead or keep the horses tied together. Here, everyone rode freely. They gave us a quick intro on the basics of controlling the horse, and that was it. The horses were extremely well-trained and calm, yet responsive. I had read in previous reviews that the horses walked very slowly, but that definitely wasn't our experience! We actually got to canter, which our kids absolutely loved—the sheer joy on their faces throughout the ride was priceless. After a scenic 40-minute ride uphill, we reached a breathtaking viewpoint near the town of La Calera. We took plenty of pictures while our guide shared fascinating facts about the surrounding Andes, the local drinking water reservoir, and the unique Páramo ecosystem. On the way back down, we maintained a relaxed pace, but the horses were still eager to run a bit, so we enjoyed a few more fun canters. If you are near Bogotá, don't miss this—it is an incredible, liberating experience for the whole family!

This was a great experience to do if you want a relaxing day outside of the city while visiting Medellin. The farm itself was very beautiful, and Juan showed us around and even took us in the recently completed cabin they have for overnight guests! Doing a relaxing long weekend at this farm would be pretty great I think. The tour experience itself included a lot of interaction with the farm animals. For the chickens it was gathering eggs, feeding the chickens, and meeting the baby chicks. I grew up with chickens and I talked to Juan about how they have one of the breeds I had growing up. The cow experience included meeting the cows (they had loaner rubber boots for this!), milking the cows by hand if you want to try this, and bottle feeding the babies. If you want to, you can even try the raw milk fresh from the cow. I grew up in a farming area so I have met many cows and chickens- I do think this would be an excellent experience with kids! The horseback ride was very fun, I was happy to see that the horses were well cared for and had some personality. Be honest about your experience level- I know how to ride and they gave me a horse who was a little more spirited, which I thought was fun! They gave the calmest horse to a man who had not ridden before. On the ride, we saw scenic views of Medellin and of the Finca itself. We then had a unique stop to rest in hammocks, give treats to our horses, and have some bonding time with them. On my tour, there was even a proposal during this time! Very romantic! I absolutely recommend the tour, or contacting Juan to book for an overnight stay if you want a beautiful place to stay a few days outside the city.
