    Amazing horseback!

    The tour guide, Angel, is completely fluent in English, was a super nice guy, and stayed with you the entire day (pick-up/drop-off and ride). The horse facility is surprisingly only 40 minutes from downtown Bogota. Jesus, the horse guide, was also very nice and friendly. The property is massive and set high in the mountains where you have tremendous views of the area from above.

    Response from the operator: Hola! Thank you for taking the time to leave this review about such a unique experience like horseback riding near Bogota! We're happy to know you enjoyed and felt safe with both Angel and Jesus while you visit the iconic Guadalupe and Monserrate. Thank you for choosing us!

    Hello, so we did the...

    Hello, so we did the horseback riding tour yesterday and it was beautiful. However, the description said a snack was included and that was false. We went to the first stop and went to get on the horses and I was still expecting food, but none ever came so by the time we got to the end of the horseback ride I was dying. So we had to stop and get food at one of the food stands at the top of the mountain. Other than that it was amazing. But I don’t think you guys should advertise that you offer food if you don’t because that is kind of a key issue especially for a six hour excursion. If no snack was going to be given to us, he should’ve said some thing, and then I would’ve bought some food at our first stop from one of the vendors.

    Response from the operator: Hola, Katie. We are really sorry for the inconvenience caused during the tour because of not offering the snack. We have checked the situation with the guide, and he explained he forgot to bring and offer the snacks. We will update the information regarding the snacks, though, in order to be more specific about it, so tourists have detailed information about it. We're glad to read that other than that you enjoyed the experience. We'll keep working hard to avoid these things from happening again.

    Guadalupe to Monserrat

    Excellent trip that definitely tested me. My girls had a great time and are ready to go again! The trip guide was knowledgeable and patient with us. I would recommend this trip to other horse enthusiasts.

    Response from the operator: Hola! We're really happy to read you enjoyed this experience so much (and that your girls want to do it again), as it is a unique way to get to Monserrate and see Bogota from a different point of view. Thank you for recommending us and we'll be happy to have you again in the future!

    One of the best.

    We did not get to do the horse-riding trip because there was a landslide. We were fortunate to change it for another trip which the tour company was willing to do and was also given a refund. Jose the tour guide was very friendly and accommodative. Hats off to Viator.

    Response from the operator: Hola! Thank you so much for leaving this review of your experience in the Coffee Region. We work hard to offer the best experience possible and also offer solutions when things don't go as planned! We're glad you had a nice experience with us and Jose. Thank you for choosing us. We hope to see you again in the future.

    Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bogotá.

    How much does Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá cost?

    +

    Prices start at $135 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bogotá usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Bogotá is not rushed.

    Is Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bogotá, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá?

    +

    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 Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá?

    +

    Around 9 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 Bogotá 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 Bogotá and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá 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 Bogotá 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 Bogotá?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Bogotá experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Free Graffiti Walking Tour Every Day in Bogota, Bogota Zipaquira Salt Cathedral Private Tour + Lunch, Private City Tour Bogota + Monserrate, Gold, Botero and Candelaria.. 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 Bogotá?

    +

    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 Bogotá?

    +

    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 Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá?

    +

    Included: Horse handler; Horseback riding for 2.5 hour; All-risk insurance; and Hotel pick-up and drop-off. Not included: Breakfast; Lunch; and Extra purchases. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá include hotel pickup?

    +

    What languages is Andean Horseback Riding Experience Near Bogotá offered in?
