“The ride was an absolutely fabulous adventure! I can’t wait to come back and do another ! The only suggestion I would make, after reviewing my pictures, is to slow the pace slightly on the days we arrived at hotels before 5 pm. While it was nice to have several hours before 7 pm dinner to relax, I think i would have preferred a slightly slower pace to take more pictures and arrive at the hotel an hour or so later, instead of earlier. I do understand that it takes several hours for the guides to take care of the horses AFTER we’ve arrived so i’m sure this is a factor as well.”

“Thank you! Such a wonderful life changing experience. I am very grateful to you, the horses and Colombia ❤️”

“Challenge Was extreme!! Great nature. Having the musical people was Special – Such Exclusiveness. Got to see a different area of Colomiba what I was never exposed to. Yopal was HOT!.. I’ve never experienced such heat where you sweat, just being outdoors standing there. The Hato was a great experience also. The people were nice and the place huge. I’ve never seen an operation that big before in my life. The other farm houses where ate and slept were good, you see the country life and really appreciate the hard work they do. I came back from Colombia and reflexed back the such hardworking caring people.”

“Great tour- Keep me posted of other exploratory ride.”

“I felt very well  prepared for the ride by the information provided before.”

 “The trip was amazing! I had the best time! The horses were incredible, the route we took was beautiful and the pace of the ride was perfect. Julio was a great host and all of our guides were fantastic! Thank you!”

“I’ve had great fun on the Barichara Ride.  There have been long days of riding, there has been plenty of sunshine and a bit of rain. I’ve seen beautiful towns, pretty architecture and bustling rural villages. We’ve ridden through coffee plantations and beside sugar cane fields, we’ve crossed rivers and climbed mountains. But what will stay with me is the hard-working, enthusiastic horses and the energy and friendliness of the people we’ve met along the way. This isn’t a luxury riding holiday where you are shielded from the reality of the country you are visiting; on this ride you get to see, smell, hear and experience the real Colombia along the way.”

“The anglo-arab horses were fit and willing, there were amazing ascents and desecents everyday- huge valleys and fantastic scenery. Julio, our guide was outstanding.”

“All days very different and we enjoyed all of them in different ways. 2nd day was the most technically challenging which I like.

We really enjoyed the trip!”

“The trip was excellent and Julio and team are very professional. Horses were the best I’ve ridden I think. One horse I rode twice had won a national endurance race -120 km- in 2016 and another came 4th. I would highly recommend it”

“Exceptional riding holiday. Horses brilliant which is important and accommodation great. Would rather have spent more time in Barichara than Bogota at the end of the trail though! Definitely for fit, good riders though as I was struggling a little towards the end with sore knees. Otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it!”

“Thank you again for all of you help and wonderful company this week. We have throughly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely recommend the ride to anyone that will listen to me!”

“I enjoyed the ride, and the company a lot.”

“The horses were fantastic, they got along with each other and the matching up of the horses with the riders were fine.  Training of the horses exceptional.  The leather reigns where smooth to the touch and supple, I noticed this the first time.  Good care of the tack.  Guides were great attentive, you gave a recommendation for me to turn my foot in the surups inward and it worked.  Thank you, upbeat and positive attitude and willing to think ahead for plan B, such as when it rained.”

“What an excellent experience.  I will come back for exploratory rides or if you offer the Casanane route.  Also the swimming pools at stops were great to strech your muscules.” 

“Colombia´s previous reputation is not deserved now and is a very friendly and non touristy destination.  This ride is very well organised with a lot of variable terrains and extras included.”

“ Everything done was to make sure I had a good time.  Julio is more than a guide, he is an excellent host determinbed that you have a good holiday”
