Cartagena: Horseback Riding on the Beach at Sunset - Meeting the Horses at María Palito

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 203 reviews · from $50Our pick

Review of Cartagena’s beach horseback ride: calm horses, sunset views, La Boquilla culture, practical tips, price, and what to expect.

“Riding along the beach during sunset was a fantastic experience. The horses were wonderful and seemed to be well taken care of. They were all happy to run but at the same time they were patient and disciplined and therefore well suited for a less experienced rider like myself (actually, a total amateur). Jose and his staff were super friendly and accommodating and sincerely seemed to care deeply about giving us a wonderful experience. In addition, it was nice to hear Jose tell us about Cartagena and the region. I highly recommend the experience and would do it again any day.Read more”

Review of Medellín’s family-run coffee tour with horseback arrival, coffee picking, sugar cane processing, mountain views, lunch, and transport.

“Unlike my other trips this was totally family operated and you could feel the passion and love in the experience. The mule ride was wonderful. Just ten minutes but added to the fun. Christian the son of the owner was our tour guide and was extremely enthusiastic and funny. Taking time to give us as much information as he could. We were dressed in ponchos and hats and walked and picked coffee beans and learnt the whole process of cofffee making. The whole operation is run by the family and neighbors and our lunch came in a banana tree leaf and we sat and overlooked the mountains. The transportation to…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 82 reviews · 6 hours · from $76

Review of Medellín’s coffee and sugar cane tour, with mule arrival, tastings, mountain views, lunch, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The whole experience at the coffee farm was great. Christian was engaging and kept it interesting. Picking and planting was made fun, and then learning about how the brew impacts the taste was great. Only downside is that we didn’t actually get a cup of coffee to drink (just small shots to taste). The horse riding part was unpleasant, but I think that’s just my personal taste. Others enjoyed it.”

Ride gentle horses along a quiet beach north of Cartagena with hotel pickup, patient guides, drinks, photos, and private attention.

“The horseback riding was very fun and if you can ride, like myself, they will let you run the horses as fast as you want. Just be suren ou know what you are doing if you decide to run a horse, i have been riding for over 30years and, horses know, if you dont know what you are doing, haha!! The most fun part is the fact that you are riding on the beach in the surf which is actually where professional trainers prefer to work out their horses if possible. If you are a first timer, like my fiancee, they will walk the entire way with you and your…”

Ride horses into Cartagena’s Caribbean surf, enjoy photos and lunch, and get practical tips on guides, transport, timing, and value.

“it was such a unique and beautiful experience. Carlos was my guide—he was kind, welcoming, and helped make the ride special. I did have to take a call midway through, so I didn’t get to say a proper thank-you, but I really appreciated his presence and guidance. That said, a heads-up for non-Spanish speakers: the guide didn’t speak English, which made the beginning of the tour a little intimidating. My horse (Adioro) was a bit stubborn, and without clear communication it was a little scary at first. But we managed to find a rhythm and make it work—and in the end, the experience was still memorable and worth it. Overall,…”
