What are people saying about Colombia

Can't miss this one.. we saved the best adventure for last

The perfect way to wrap up our boys' weekend! Five guys, five beautiful horses, and two great guides. Andres was excellent—super friendly, well organized, and great with communication. He was also patient with the less experienced riders in our group. The horses were beautiful and incredibly well trained. The trail was gorgeous, the weather was perfect, and the whole experience was amazing. I had the pleasure of riding Canelo, such a kind horse! If you're comfortable riding, there are also plenty of opportunities to gallop, which was an absolute blast. I left feeling recharged after connecting with nature and such a powerful animal. This is a bucket-list experience you shouldn't miss. 100% would do it again!

One of my best experiences while in Colombia

The owner and guide were experienced, funny, and treated us like family. You get to meet other travelers. You will see the beautiful scenery and also stop with locals for homemade treats. If you love animals you will love it. If you haven’t been on a horse no worries, they will teach you. The animals are well kept, which is very important for an animal lover like me. They stop for breaks often for the horses and you. You can tell they both really love what they do and it shows on how much all the animals love them. They are respected by the community everyone knows them. Loved the experience. Book it! It’s worth it.

A spectacular and unforgettable equestrian experience

Luis is a dedicated host and an expert in equestrian matters. We learned and enjoyed ourselves on the back of a Paso Fino horse at the ranch and, later, on the beach with other horses on a SPECTACULAR ride of almost two hours. Totally recommended and we will undoubtedly do it again.

Exceptional Horse Riding Tour (La Calera / Paramo near Bogotá):

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!

Gorgeous views and lively horseback ride!

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...

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.

Adventure in the Andes Mountains

Andrés L, Jul 2026

It is worth it!!!

The experience was very entertaining and fun; my family and I enjoyed it a lot. Our guide, Rubén Darío, was very kind as well as qualified in handling the horses and knowledgeable about the region; he clarified many things for us about the fauna and flora of the region as well as the geography of the region itself. The horses were very gentle, ideal for people without experience, as is my case, and it is also clear that they take very good care of them. The gentleman who brought the horses to the meeting point was also very kind. At the end of the day, a lunch awaited us at the restaurant where the starting point was; we had two vegetarians and the truth is that they were very attentive with the menu; in general terms, everything was very delicious and the restaurant staff here was also very kind. The truth is that I can only recommend this experience and we will surely return!!!!

* An Unforgettable Experience with Jose

This experience was truly unforgettable and meant so much more to us than just horseback riding. Jose and Gabrielle were both so warm and welcoming from the beginning, and they made us feel comfortable right away. Jose truly went above and beyond for our group in a way we will never forget. His kindness, patience, and genuine heart made this experience so special. He made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and included every step of the way. What stood out most was how much care and effort he put into giving us more than just a horseback riding experience. He took the time to share the history and culture of Cartagena, and his passion and knowledge made everything so much more meaningful. You can tell this is something he genuinely loves doing, and that energy made the experience even better. We’re so grateful for the way Jose went out of his way for us and for the unforgettable memories he helped create. Thank you for such a heartfelt and incredible experience.
