Made with passion and love by Medellin Day Trips ©2025

From the time we were picked up at our hotel by Andres, til the time we returned, we felt right at home. To me it felt like more than just a tour, but an adventure with a friend. Andres was extremely knowledgeable and taught us more about Antioquia, which is the region that Medellin is in and Rionegro, where the ranch that we visited was located. Being a first time rider, Andres taught me how to ride safely and taught me about the difference in the Spanish horses from the horses that are more common in Colombia. I also learned about the vegetation here in the area where I uploaded a picture of a Cecropia telealba with its silver leaves that can be spotted from afar. The trail was a mix of country trails and paved areas, with plenty of space to speed up to a gallop if you desire. As a first time rider, I was okay with this, even learning that paved isn’t that good for horses because it’s slippery for them. About halfway through our journey we stopped at a farm house with a bar and stable with a beautiful view. We had time to use the restroom and enjoy a beer as we played with the young horses, cats and dogs, while myself and Andres traded stories about our travels and how they compare to Colombia. On the way back, Andres gave us tips on taking other tours and advice about the best places to go and the best time to do other popular tours! I intend to stay in contact with him and the company Medellin Day Trips as they definitely made my time in Medellin feel like it was well spent!
