About this experience
If you’re in Medellín and looking for an authentic horseback riding experience, then this is the right tour for you. This horse ride is exclusively offered by LandVenture Travel since no other tour company has access to this farm. The ride takes place at a big cattle ranch located almost two hours southwest of Medellín. We will have some great Colombian coffee upon arrival and start enjoying jaw-dropping Andean scenery. Safety briefing and horse-back riding tips will take place before getting on the horses. We will try to pair you with the right horse for your experience level. We use well-fed and well-treated working horses and even mules depending on availability. During the ride, we will go across streams and remnants of tropical dry forest with 100-feet tall trees, giant bamboos and hopefully, spot some interesting native birds, besides lots of cattle. Your English-speaking guide will be with you at all times. After having a traditional farm lunch we will return to Medellín.

Relaxing Ride
Incredible private horseback experience. The horses were calm and easy to ride, the scenery was stunning, and the host Andres was friendly, welcoming, and served an excellent lunch. One of the highlights of my trip.

Horse and nature trips Colombia
Andres is a great guide. In addition to the ride on the cattle ranch, we went to Jardin and conception. It was awesome to see the countryside and all the birds. I had a great time and I felt very safe and happy that Andres was my guide. I highly recommend him and all the trips I took. Next time, though I’ll bring an empty suitcase so I could buy more pottery.

Incredible views from horseback
We had the best day with Andres. He was so professional and knowledgeable. We got picked up from our accommodation and stopped for breakfast on the way to bolombolo for traditional arepas. At the farm, we were greeted with local Colombian coffee prepared by the cowboys wife, who later cooked us a delicious and plentiful lunch after horse riding and before being dropped back to Medellin. The ride itself was an incredible experience. The views are spectacular and you can’t get enough of them. The 2 hour route covered galloping through fields, crossing little streams in forests and exploring the flora and fauna of the Andes. Andres took loads of pictures of us and shared those with us. Would highly recommend this experience as it easily became one of our favourite memories.

Andres was a super guide that showed us all the great places between Medellin and Jardin. The horseback riding was one of our Colombia trips highlights

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin cost?
+
Prices start at $149 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 Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin?
+
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 Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin?
+
Around 6 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Horseback Riding Tour around Cattle Ranch from Medellin 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, Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour with Street Food, More than Escobar Tour. 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.
