Ride well-trained horses on a beginner-friendly trail near Medellín, with round-trip pickup from El Poblado and optional finca tapas.
“This was one of my favorite things we did while in Columbia. The horses were so well trained that even a person who has never ridden a horse would have no trouble at all. The only things I can say that was not perfect about the trip is that the site promised an English interpreter but we did not get one. Even though our guide only spoke Spanish we were able to figure out what he was trying to tell us.”

Private Medellín trip to Guatapé and El Peñol with beginner-friendly horseback riding, a 749-step climb, and colorful town time.
“We had a great time in this tour with Andres. He picked us up at 7 am and told us so many stories about Colombia while driving. We made some stops to drink coffee and eat some empanadas. We have very little experience with horses and we had a blast riding them. The view was amazing and the horses were gentle. Then we rode to Guatape and Andres made sure we enjoyed the town and the Penol. We walked around the town and visited some stores while talking to some locals. This is a great tour and Andres was amazing.”
Half-day horseback riding from Bogotá to La Calera, with mountain views, a waterfall stop, sugarcane tea, and picnic.
“My guide, Gabriela, and my driver, Héctor, were superb. I have only ridden horses a few times, so it was helpful to have the directions explained to me so well. The riding culminated in a stunning view with time to dismount, rest, and take pictures.”
Horseback along Cartagena de Indias beaches with pickup, a private-feeling shoreline ride, drinks, and guided help for first-timers.
