If the weather and season permit, we will even get to plant our own coffee!

Bogota: Horseback Riding Tour

4. Bogota: Horseback Riding Tour

Ride on a Colombian Creole horse along the fauna, flora, rivers, creeks and lakes that make the Andean highland a perfect scenario for a thrilling day out in nature during your stay in Bogotá. On this tour, you will be driven from Bogotá to a rural location 40 minutes to the south east of the capital. There, a local cowboy will be expecting you with tame - yet powerful - horses ready for the adventure. After some instructions and advice, you'll start the ride, in the company of a guide (if option selected). Going up to 3,200 MAMSL, you will enter an Andean ecosystem, which is very different to the stereotypical image of the tropical jungle many visitors have about Colombia. After an hour's ride, you'll reach a fantastic lookout point where you'll be able to see the Monserrate Hill and even Bogotá in the distance. After a break (for stretching your legs and having a snack), you'll head back to the ranch via another path, making a loop. Get dropped off back at your hotel after returning to the ranch.

We had a fantastic experience with our guide Alejandro! He reached out via WhatsApp to us ahead of time to confirm the trip details and ask our food preferences. He took photos of us all during the tour and sent them to us after which was amazing because the tour was so interactive and fun we didn’t really have time to take many of our own. We also learned so much about coffee on the trip and had a great time drinking it too. I highly recommend.

This was such a fun and unique experience. We learned so much about coffee and it's entire lifecycle. I loved seeing the organic practices used by this female-owned business! The tour was fun and informative and Nick was a great host. We appreciated his sense of humor and engagement with us as he took time to specifically translate everything for us to English as well.
