Best excursion in Medellin - Juan was amazing. You instantly felt like family. The breakfast was delicious. The horse ride was amazing. Great views. Would highly recommend this excursion. Did I say the views are amazing? They pick you up from your Airbnb or hotel. Had a blast hanging with Juan and all the attendees.

Amazing !!! - We had such a wonderful experience!! surpassed all expectations. Juan was very welcoming and made us feel at home. Estela was a wonderful cook and we were able to experience a typical Colombian breakfast. The cows and horses were such a boost of serotonin. This was definitely the highlight of our trip and we will be going back 100/10!!

Unforgettable Experience - This was an unforgettable experience. From the early morning pick-up in a comfy SUV to the picturesque horseback riding, my experience at this private farm was nothing short of magical. The day started by meeting Jaun - one of the coolest people I've ever met, who picks you up early in the morning. Next, once you get to the farm, you are greeted with a delightful breakfast of local, organic fare, setting a wholesome tone for the day. Interacting with the cows and learning about the traditional milking process was enlightening and enjoyable. The genuine warmth and expertise of the locals made it a truly immersive experience. Horseback riding through the mountains was the highlight for me. The view from the peak was breathtaking, with Medellín’s skyline in the distance. We enjoyed a well-deserved local dish at a beautifully set picnic, which was a great way to relax and take in the surroundings. Returning to the farm for a last cup of coffee was the perfect end to a fulfilling visit. This experience is a must-do for anyone visiting Medellín and looking for an authentic encounter with Colombian countryside life. Highly recommended! Thank you Juan for everything!

If you want a truly non-touristy and authentic local experience, THIS IS IT! - Honestly one of the best experiences of my life. The description and photos don't begin to do justice for how amazing this was. The farm is gorgeous, the family is really kind and welcoming, the nature surrounding the farm is stunning, the animals are beautiful/sweet/clearly loved and cared for. I want to move into the house and live with them (especially Marcela the horse I rode with)!

Amazing experience - I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a horseback riding trip in Colombia, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, every moment was filled with adventure, beauty, and a deep connection to nature. The journey began with a warm welcome from the knowledgeable and friendly guides who made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. They provided clear instructions and ensured that the horses were well cared for and matched with riders according to their skill level.

BEST EXPERIENCE IN THE WORLD! - One of the happiness and best experiences I’ve ever done. The beautiful landscapes, the once in the life time and unique experience is something you get with this. Not only this but the host TRULY cares about you. From making sure to take care of you to wanting to know and being interested in who you are as person. It’s truly a blessing to have done this and I 100% recommend anyone who hasn’t done it to do it.

The one local tour you should book in Medellin - This is hands down the best tour in Medellin. What an incredibly special experience. Jose shared with us on his incredible family farm. Being way up in the mountains with the incredible views, a traditional breakfast, milking cows, petting, all the cows bonus, and an amazing horseback ride through the trails of the mountains on this huge farm. If there's one experience you do this is it. Jose, you are a treasure! We are so blessed that you shared your gorgeous farm with us!
