5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Had an amazing half-day horseback riding tour on the outskirts of Bogotá. Diego was a fantastic guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. The horses were calm and well cared for, and the scenery was beautiful with wide open countryside and mountain views. It was the perfect escape from the city and one of the highlights of my time in Colombia. Highly recommend!
You're in for a treat. ...

5.00You're in for a treat. Super cool experience. The horses are super docile and Diego is on his A-game as the tour guide. Will be booking again.

5.00I booked the tour with Andes Eco Tours, and everything was well organized from the beginning. I was picked up directly from my hotel in Bogotá and driven to La Calera, which made the whole experience very easy and comfortable. When I arrived, the horses were already prepared and ready. We started the ride right away, and the tour lasted about 3 hours with breathtaking viewpoints almost the entire way. There were plenty of opportunities for good galloping, which made the ride especially fun and exciting. My guide Diego was very friendly and informative, sharing a lot about the area, nature, and local plants throughout the ride, which made the experience even more interesting. I felt safe and comfortable during the trip, and the scenery was absolutely stunning. It was a fantastic way to experience the mountains just outside the city. A big thank you to Diego and the owner Andes for a great experience - highly recommended for anyone visiting Bogotá and wanting a memorable horseback adventure!

5.00It was amazing. Bogota is this bustling city and you almost don’t realize the beauty you’re missing outside of it. I booked this with my friend and it was just the two of us, our wonderful, amazing, kind guide Andres and the owner and his 7yr old son came on a ride with us. It was perfect and fun, and the family was so cute. I would go again and again to this tour.
Excellent tour!

5.00Everything was so smooth from pick up to drop off. Diego and Daniel were great as were the lovely well kept horses. Plenty of photo stops along the way and we had a chance to watch the paragliding, all finished off with a hot local beverage! Would recommend.
Horses, an incredible view, and nice people.

5.00Was met by welcoming people with warm smiles. The horses looked healthy. Mine was a bit docile, but he responded to my commands. The trip up the mountain was uneventful, almost calming. The unique nature of riding a horse kept me focused on the whole experience. The view at the top was breathtaking. Overall, I felt well taken care of.
The tour was beautiful...
