More than just a horseback ride, this is about connecting with our free-roaming horses, experiencing Colombian country life, and taking with you a piece of our culture. At Monte & Panela you’ll be welcomed directly by our family, no intermediaries, on our 100-year-old finca in the Andes Mountains. We keep groups small and personal. Upon arrival, We welcome you with freshly brewed local coffee. Then you’ll enjoy a farm-to-table breakfast: our grandma’s traditional recipe served with fresh cheese made right here on the farm. Our animals live freely and are treated with respect: you’ll get to milk cows, feed calves, and ride our gentle horses across 200 private acres of pure nature, safe trails, and mountain views. I’m Juan José, third-generation caretaker of this land, and I will personally guide you throughout the experience, making sure you feel at home as part of our family.

A Wonderful Experience for the Whole Family
We had such a wonderful experience at Monte y Panela! I went with my daughter, and we absolutely loved it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was wonderful. One of our favorite parts was being able to interact and engage with the animals. It was such a fun and special experience, especially for my daughter. You can also tell the animals are very well cared for and treated with love. Such a beautiful place for families — we will definitely be back! ❤️

Amazing tour
This was easily one of the best parts of our trip. The Monte and Panela team ran everything smoothly and thought of every detail, right down to the perfectly timed coffee and snacks. The scenic drive out of the city was a great way to start, and having a small group made it easy to chat and connect. The farm visit was a lot of fun, complete with a fantastic breakfast and surprisingly friendly cows and chickens. The trail ride itself was incredibly beautiful. We don't have much riding experience, but the horses were calm, very well trained, and got along perfectly.

Gorgeous views and lively horseback ride!
This was a great experience to do if you want a relaxing day outside of the city while visiting Medellin. The farm itself was very beautiful, and Juan showed us around and even took us in the recently completed cabin they have for overnight guests! Doing a relaxing long weekend at this farm would be pretty great I think. The tour experience itself included a lot of interaction with the farm animals. For the chickens it was gathering eggs, feeding the chickens, and meeting the baby chicks. I grew up with chickens and I talked to Juan about how they have one of the breeds I had growing up. The cow experience included meeting the cows (they had loaner rubber boots for this!), milking the cows by hand if you want to try this, and bottle feeding the babies. If you want to, you can even try the raw milk fresh from the cow. I grew up in a farming area so I have met many cows and chickens- I do think this would be an excellent experience with kids! The horseback ride was very fun, I was happy to see that the horses were well cared for and had some personality. Be honest about your experience level- I know how to ride and they gave me a horse who was a little more spirited, which I thought was fun! They gave the calmest horse to a man who had not ridden before. On the ride, we saw scenic views of Medellin and of the Finca itself. We then had a unique stop to rest in hammocks, give treats to our horses, and have some bonding time with them. On my tour, there was even a proposal during this time! Very romantic! I absolutely recommend the tour, or contacting Juan to book for an overnight stay if you want a beautiful place to stay a few days outside the city.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More cost?
+
Prices start at $155 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 136 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More?
+
Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More?
+
Included: Private transportation; Snacks; Breakfast; and Helmets. Not included: Mosquito Repellent. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 239 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 100-Year-Old family-run Finca: Horseback Riding & More offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
