About this experience

At the start of the day we pick you up in Palomino, either at your accomodation or if you come from somewhere else we will send you a meeting point. With our trusted motortaxis we get you to our farm. You get an explanation of our project and we will explain you how we ride. We get on the horses and make a beautiful trip to nature. We will pass our neighbours land, go on the old trails used by indigenous people (and most probable see some on the way). We enjoy a swim in the gorgeous river. Around midday we have a lunch at a local farm, and see how they live. We will head back to the farm and finish the day! We work with rescue horses, choosing us means giving these animals the best life ever! We cannot accept people over 90KG, there is a maximum weight the horses can carry (20% of their body weight), and we work with local mountain horses which are not the biggest breed. But they are strong and the most useful in the terrain we are located.

Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch cost?

+

Prices start at $92 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch take?

+

Plan for about 5.5 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 Santa Marta is not rushed.

Is Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 7. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 5.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch?

+

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 Santa Marta 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 Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Horse Riding through Jungle with Local Lunch 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 Santa Marta 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 Santa Marta?

+

On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, MINCA: Eco-Walk, Coffee Farm, Waterfall & Chocolate Experience!, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta. 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 Santa Marta?

+

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 Santa Marta?

+

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.
