Horseback Riding Tour to Tequendama Falls from Bogotá

Summary

Guided Horseback Adventure Near Bogotá’s Waterfall

You’ll get out of Bogotá for a day and actually feel Colombia’s countryside—on horseback, no less. This tour isn’t just about riding; it’s about seeing Tequendama Falls up close, learning from locals, and getting a real sense of place. If you want nature and a bit of adventure without any hassle, this is it.

What’s the experience like?

The morning air in Bogotá always feels a bit crisp, but as we drove out of the city, it softened into something fresher—almost earthy. Our driver chatted about the old legends of Tequendama Falls while we wound through hills dotted with wildflowers and tiny roadside fruit stands. It’s only about two hours, but you feel the city drop away fast.

Once we reached the ranch, our guide matched us with horses that fit our comfort level. I’d never ridden before, but he was patient—showed me how to hold the reins and what to do if my horse got curious about a snack along the trail (they love munching on grass). The path led us through open fields and shady patches where you could hear birds calling out over the sound of hooves. At one point, we caught a glimpse of Tequendama Falls in the distance—a white ribbon cutting through green cliffs. The spray sometimes drifts far enough that you can feel it on your face if the wind shifts.
