Horseback riding from Pereira: Cauca River Valley hacienda tour

Ride the hacienda trails and riverside routes on your schedule

An exclusive horseback riding activity from Pereira through a working hacienda in the Cauca River Valley, with hotel or airport pickup and a local guide. You'll cross regenerative livestock pastures, stop at viewpoints overlooking the valley, ride along a historic train track, and follow the banks of the Cauca River in approximately three hours.

The experience

How do you get out to the hacienda trails without renting a car? The operator picks you up at your hotel in Pereira or directly at the airport, and if your hotel isn't on the standard list, you name the closest point and they adjust the route. If you arrive by plane, your bags stay safe in the vehicle while you ride. You choose the pickup time that fits your schedule, so the morning departure, the afternoon slot, or something in between all work.

The ride itself moves through the hacienda on trails surrounded by pastures where regenerative livestock farming is practiced. You'll stop at several viewpoints that open onto the Cauca River Valley, then continue to the historic train track (a remnant that cuts through the landscape) before following the banks of the Cauca River itself. An expert guide rides with you throughout, speaking English or Spanish, and will add live music to the experience if you want it, or leave you to the natural sounds of the environment if you prefer quiet.

The whole outing takes approximately three hours, including the ride and the stops. Medical assistance insurance is provided, and the activity suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Service animals are welcome to join.
