Private horseback ride near Medellín with hotel pickup, two safety guides, horses matched to your level, and big mountain views.
“Laura was a very friendly and easygoing tour guide. She picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel via private car. I have advanced horse riding experience and my husband had very minimal experience, and we both felt comfortable and extremely happy with our tour. We were asked our experience level in advance to pair us up accordingly to a horse. I was happy that I would run and my husband was happy that he could safely enjoy a unique tour while gaining a love for horseback riding. This ended up being a private tour with just us, which was lovely (apparently only 2-3 people per tour is…”
Sunset horseback rides on Cartagena’s La Boquilla beach with a bilingual guide, mangrove eco views, and a Caribbean lunch for $50.
“It was a fantastic tour. Gabriel and Jose were great guides, and their team were all excellent. They were all super attentive to make sure we were all comfortable with the horse. They also had a great way of working with the horses which was pleasing to see. The tour was also very informative and not just about the pictures which we loved. We learned a bit about the native residents of Boquilla and discovered a new area as part of the tour. Would love to do this again if we come back to this part of the world! Gracias Gabriel y Jose!”
Horse through the Arvi mountains, tour Don Leandro coffee farm, then unwind at a coffee spa with steam and a full-body massage.
“Wow! I have been to over 50 countries and done countless tours, this was likely the best tour I’ve ever done. The value for the money is truly unbelievable. Our guide Angelo met us in Poblado and took the metro with us all the way up to Santa Domingo. The spa was relaxing, the farm was beautiful, the people were hospitable. I couldn’t recommend this tour more.”

“We had the most amazing day at Juan’s family’s farm, and it was truly the best tour we’ve ever experienced! Juan was an excellent guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. The farm itself is incredible, and learning the history about the farm and why they have been there for generations made the experience even more special. It’s clear how much care and love they’ve poured into preserving the farm’s traditions. The activities were unforgettable: horseback riding through beautiful landscapes, feeding the cows (a unique and fun experience!), and enjoying delicious foods made right there by Estela from items grown on the farm, including home made bread and…”
Medellín private horse ride and coffee farm visit with mountain views, farm lunch, and tastings from Chemex to Japanese syphon in 8 hours.
“This tour gave exactly what it said it would, a great horse ride through the jungle through a small village in the mountainous jungle that was not too long and not too short! We then went to a beautiful farm on the mountain side with a great view and learned the process of making coffee and was made different ways for us with the same coffee to show the differences of the processes. Sara was an amazing tour guide, very kind and informative about the history and was a great friend we met on the tour! I would highly recommend asking for Sara, she was brilliant!”

Ride Paso Fino horses along Manzanillo’s beach on a 4-hour private tour with hotel pickup, ranch training, and great photos.
“Communication between us and our guide Maria & her father Luis who owns the company before the excursion was wonderful - very nice people and certainly Maria was very knowledgeable about the horses. The reason for 4 stars was due to the fact that we did more waiting at the nearby hotel restaurant than actually riding the horses, and the horse provided for me was not trained to enter the water, which I thought was part of the ‘riding on the beach’ experience - in fact, she was very averse to the water as she was primarily trained for competition. First we stopped at the ranch for a 20-30 minute…”

Mateo con mucha jcosidad nos conto la historia de su familia y como comenzaron el legado de este maravilloso tesoro, nos reimos y disfrutamos. Mi parte favorita fue vestirme y salir al campo a buscar el cafe y vivir todo el proceso hasta llevarlo a la taza. He hecho decenas de tour de cafe y nunca vii uno como este ! Gracias a Omar de Aeroturex por llevarnos y sus recomendaciones y por tratarnos con mucho cari~o.”

“We had an amazing time on the coffee tour near Medellín, and our guide Cristian truly made it special. From the moment we arrived, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Colombian culture and coffee production. Cristian explained everything in excellent English, answered all our questions with patience. Also riding the horses through the lush countryside was a highlight. We left not only with great memories but also with a deeper appreciation for Colombian coffee and rural traditions. Cristian was a huge part of that. Highly recommended!”
