Ride along quiet bridle paths and mountains that seem to touch the sky, enjoying an authentic experience and a deep connection with nature, where the only crowd you'll find will be the majestic trees. Kick off your adventure with Step 1: Transport in a Jeep Willys. We'll pick you up in Salento to kick off an exciting tour in an authentic Jeep Willys 4×4, crossing mountain landscapes until you reach the remote region of La Carbonera. When you arrive, Step 2 awaits: Welcome and Equestrian Encounter. Our local guide will give you a warm welcome and introduce you to the horses, ready for the ride. You'll have plenty of time to get ready before you ride. Then, it's time for Step 3: The Ride Among the Wax Palms. For one to two hours, you'll immerse yourself in the majestic landscape of wax palms, riding along trails that take you to the most natural and least explored corners of La Carbonera. It's an unparalleled experience in the heart of the Andean ecosystem. Once the horseback ride is over, Step 4: A Field Snack awaits you. Enjoy a well-deserved break with a delicious local snack, perfect for recharging your batteries while taking in the tranquility of the forest. Finally, Step 5: Return to Salento by Jeep wraps up the day.
