Horseback Riding Adventure from Medellin

Posted By : 255celestef
We had an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING time with JOE POSADA as our tour guide!!! He made the trip SO much FUN, and translated seamlessly between English and Spanish. The drive to the Horse ranch was beautiful and Joe shared history of the area along the way. Once we arrived at the horse ranch we were greeted by the sweetest family and so many beautiful, MAJESTIC, well cared for horses. We set out on our tour along the countryside and through mountains and saw so many gorgeous birds, flowers, eucalyptus, bamboo and got to experience the fresh mountain air with such great company. The VIEWS at the mountain top were stunning and we grabbed a drink at the local spot on top of the mountain. Joe was the highlight of the tour. He made the experience so memorable. It is a time we will always cherish. We enjoyed it so much we booked another tour specifically with JOE to visit Guatape. Joe is incredible and the horse tour was such a beautiful way to experience the Colombian countryside. HIGHLY recommend and ask for JOE!!!! You will be SO happy you did!!

Absolutely incredible experience! What made it truly special was our guide Joe Posada. He picked us up and took us to the location and helped with translating since we only speak English. He’s a joy to be around and went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience, so much so that we ended up booking another (different) tour later in the week because the impression he made on us. The staff at the horse farm were also extremely friendly, accommodating, and welcoming. You could tell the horses were well cared for. The whole experience beginning to end was very thoughtful, intentional, and the highlight of our trip. Highly recommend this experience or any others by Medellín City Services ESPECIALLY if you get the option and privilege to be shown around by Joe!!! He will make it a memorable experience you’ll never forget while sharing his wealth of knowledge about Colombia. Truly a gem

Joe was an excellent guide- knowledgeable, kind and enthusiastic. The horses and countryside reflect the beauty of this place and the ranch takes great care of the horses and guests. This is a must-do tour!

This was one of the best experiences I’ve had whilst travelling! Luis was my tour guide and he was so knowledgeable. He could tell you the history of anything related to Colombia. I learnt so much and my heart was full! The horses were also very well loved and cared for. I’m so grateful to have had this fabulous opportunity. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Medellin!!
I got to meet some other locals along the way, Mateo and Juan Manuel who I will also never forget. Muchas gracias mi amors!!! Thank you for sharing these special memories with me! See you again one day

Had amazing time. Our guide did a great job at making me feel comfortable on my horse. Even on narrowing roads when cars and motorcycles needed to pass by. . Highly recommend

I just got back from this amazing trip. It was my first time riding a horse, so they gave me a very nice and relaxed horse. Even though you could easily steer the horse and make it go faster or slower whenevener you wanted it, it was not really needed. The horse is so sweet and well behaved that it basically does everything by itself. The taxi driver Fabian spoke perfect English, and even though there was a lot of traffic and the ride over took 1,5 hours (and the way back 1 hour) I was never bored and the time flew by! Thanks again, Fabian!

Albert was extremely friendly and kind. It was like being with family. The stable was nice and we had our own guide. It rained but the guide had rain gear for us.

Good valley views but riding without an English guide was not pleasant. I hope the tour operator caters to guides to English speaking customers as well

We had planned a Zipline experience but after the transport there we unfortunately could not do it because of the bad weather behind the mountain. But it is good to know they take our safety seriously. Luís was our guide, a super nice one and spoke good English. He proposed to go horse riding when we couldn’t go for our original plan so we would not “waste” our day. That was a nice idea of him and we enjoyed the day!

This was a New Year's Day reservation made well in advance. So I was surprised when I got an early morning email canceling my excursion due to no horse ranches open because of no one wanting to work New Year's Day. Understandable, - but why take my booking? I called and demanded an immediate refund but Jose asked me to give him an hour to find someone. Ten minutes later I was reconfirmed. The trip to the horse ranch took 45 minutes and the driver stopped by the ATM and I bought some beers. We got to the ranch and saw that it was indeed closed but they opened just for us. It was a nice 1 and a half hour tour on docile horses -good for beginners and kids alike. Many of the private trails were closed for the holiday but the public trails are interesting and the views of the mountains beautiful- I was not disappointed. There is a small lake for children to fish and a restaurant. We tipped everyone for the extra effort- to open for just 2 people.
