Top Colombia Horseback Riding

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.

The tour operators were absolutely wonderful. Even though we got caught in an unexpected torrential downpour, they did everything they could to make sure we still had an amazing experience. They checked in with the group to see what everyone wanted to do, continued with every activity that was safely possible, and took us through the wildlife sanctuary. Despite the weather, it was a fantastic adventure, and the guides truly made the experience unforgettable.

Our tour with the Cartagena Caribbean Tours was amazing! Jose was absolutely wonderful!! He made sure we had a great time and were well taken care of. Our uber broke down on the beach and he brought the horses to us so we wouldn’t have to walk. He also made sure our ride share picked us up from the meeting up point once the tour was over. He was very knowledgeable and passionate and gave great recommendations for our trip!! Definitely recommend this to anyone visiting, 10/10 experience!
