Horse riding: what to know
What to expect
Horse rides in Quindío follow country lanes, coffee farms and valleys such as Cocora. They are almost always guided and at an easy pace, so you do not need previous riding experience.
How to choose
Salento and Cocora Valley have the most options and mountain views; rides around Filandia and La Tebaida cross farms and rivers with fewer people. With kids or as a first-timer, ask for a short ride. Pay attention to the horses: they should look healthy and rested, with tack in good condition.
Before you go
Wear long pants and closed shoes. Ask how long the ride is, whether helmets are provided and whether there is a weight or age limit. After heavy rain some trails close or the ride is shortened.
