Enjoy an adventurous horseback ride through Salento's natural landscapes, with the thrill of crossing the Boquerón River on horseback. The tour lasts about 2 hours—around 1 hour and 40 minutes in the saddle—combining trails and dirt roads with river crossings, amid natural forests and beautiful local scenery.
Because of the river crossings and varied terrain, some riding experience is recommended. It's the ideal option for those looking for a horseback ride with a more adventurous touch, always with gentle horses and an expert guide.

For their well-being, the maximum weight per rider is 120 kg. We ask that you always follow your guide's instructions so the horses are treated with respect.
