Ride Cartagena’s La Boquilla beach with local guides, calm horses, hotel pickup, and cultural stories. Best for beginners and easygoing riders.
“Riding a horse on the beach and through the edge of a lapping sea has been a dream since my childhood. It is extremely hot in Cartagena so I made sure I chose an early morning slot so the horses weren’t out in 30°+ heat (8:30am although 8am would have been even better). A taxi driver picked me up (along with two friends who were not riding but came along to see the area of La Boquilla where the stable is). The horses were ready to go on arrival and looked well cared for. I was the only rider so the stable owner rode with me. Although he spoke no…”
Ride through Salento’s forest viewpoints to Sestillal Waterfall, with birdwatching, a short estate hike, and Spanish-speaking guides.
“Nicholas was an absolute amazing tour guide. So informative and we would not have made it without him. The problem is this tour is NOT for persons without hiking experience. This tour is NOT for people 55 and above. Viator NEVER made us aware that you hiking needed experience to make it through. The horse ride was wonderful. Our guide was fantastic. But having to walk for another 6 hours or so with no experience in mountain and rock climbing was a huge disappointment for us. Shame on Viator for not warning their customers first. Obviously they only care about the ticket sales and not the customers. Thank you Nicholas..…”
From island boats to coffee fincas, and the best of each.
