Best day activity in Medellin - The best day trip you can do in Medellin! Juan is a great guy and the fact that it is his family’s finca makes the experience personal and unique. Riding horses was super fun, and the food was delicious!

Colombia beyond cocaine: A genuine and exclusive experience at a wonderful family-farm. - It is a family farm of unparalleled beauty, offering you the opportunity to meet the owner, who personally coordinates all the activities of the visit, providing a unique chance to experience a real farm and not just a tourist attraction. An exceptional experience, with a small number of visitors, authenticity, and delicious food. You are given the opportunity to participate in the daily activities of the farm, to get to know the animals, which are truly well cared for, and to enjoy a ride through the beautiful nature on horseback. If I had to describe it in two words: Colombia beyond cocaine

Horseback Riding in Medellin - By far our favorite experience in Colombia! Juan has a beautiful ranch with even better views and was the best tour guide we could have asked for!

Amazing farm experience in Colombia! - This was truly one of the best experiences of my life. Juan picked us up early in the morning and drove us to his farm nestled in the mountains of Colombia. The farm was stunning, and we were warmly welcomed with big smiles and perfect hospitality. We started the day with incredible black coffee, followed by milking the cows, and then enjoyed a homemade breakfast made entirely from scratch—needless to say, it was delicious. After breakfast, we went horseback riding, which was absolutely breathtaking. Throughout the experience, Juan made sure we were well taken care of, we were provided with refreshing drinks and fresh fruits. To top it all off, we had the pleasure of meeting people from different parts of the world, who were incredibly friendly and wonderful to chat with. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone reading my review—you won’t regret going. A special thanks to my dad for taking me!

Amazing 10/10 - Definitely the most amazing experience I had in Medellin. I will be visiting here again at some point. The breakfast they made before the activities was one of the best I’ve ever had. They make everything fresh. Then the horseback riding through the mountains was an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend

An experience you can't miss - I want to share with you an experience that I lived and that left me completely delighted. I had the opportunity to spend a day on a wonderful estate, and from the first moment, I knew it would be something special. It all started with a delicious breakfast, prepared very fondly by estelita , very friendly and loved . The food was so fresh and delicious that I felt every bite connected me to the earth. Then we milked the cows, something I'd never done before, and it was amazing! But that wasn't all. I also rode horses and it was an amazing experience. In the middle of the ride, we paused to enjoy a snack surrounded by nature. That moment was perfect for breathing fresh air and just getting carried away with the peace of the place. If you are looking for a unique experience, I recommend this walk on the estate. It is an opportunity to disconnect and enjoy the simple but extraordinary life in the countryside. Don't miss it, you'll love it as much as I do! 20/20
