Great ride - 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.

Fun outside - Bring some kind of raincoat! The weather was really bipolar haha as we started sunny and quickly went to rain, but it was fun. Be sure to also bring cash if you want to buy things in site like artisanal goods or food. Ricardo was a gentleman, would do the tour again if I were to come back 👍🏼

Fantastic tour guide - Our tour guide Ricardo makes the experience incredibly fun for both beginners and experienced riders. He interacts with everyone and will try to get to know you individually. The trail was nice, I think just the perfect amount of time and you are always with a group at all times

A curated activity - The tour was well thought out and planned. The round trip transport is smooth and efficient. The instructions from the guide are clear and the excursion itself was very enjoyable. The attention is personalized and the activity is meant to provide an appropriate introduction to Medellín’s rural culture and “campo” life. All very professional.

DO NOT BOOK! - They canceled the experience without any prior notice. I arrived at the meeting spot, but no one showed up. When I texted the organizer, he mentioned they would refund my money but didn't even offer an apology. While I did receive the refund, I still lost money on transportation and, more importantly, wasted precious time from my vacation.

Cancellation at the last minute. - I give you a 0, we were cancelled 40 minutes before departure and without explanation. I do not recommend it at all. Still waiting for the money back.

You get what you paid for. - Visiting from a different country so my phone doesn't get service. I made a reservation days in advanced and not once saw anything about ME having my reservation readily available. Yes it's an easy task but my personal cell gets no service or carry time so it wasn't possible. I've been on a couple OTHER tours and they've all texted me an hour or two prior, they gladly texted me on my Colombian number (Updates and changes), ALWAYS had a LIST of their own or actually cared enough to remember the customers names.
There's more I'd like to add but I'll allow el encargado to make things right before doing so. I understand things happen but the customer shouldn't be treated the way I was treated.
From one business owner to another.

Thanks For Cancelling and Not Even Telling Me Why - Made a reservation and the day of I get an email saying my reservation was cancelled. They don't even give me a reason or offer me a chance to reschedule. I guess you don't want my business.
