Horseback Riding Tour in Cali, Colombia – Scenic Trails & Views
Let’s go horseback riding in the mountains of Dapa, Cali! Saddle up with an expert guide, explore scenic trails through Valle del Cauca’s Andean landscape, and take in breathtaking views of the city from above. This small-group tour is perfect for riders of all levels.
Dapa is a hidden gem just outside Cali, perched at an altitude of over 1,500 meters (5,000 ft) above sea level. Its cool mountain climate, rolling hills, and lush Andean forests make it one of the most beautiful spots to escape the city’s heat and enjoy nature at its finest. The terrain is a mix of scenic dirt trails, open meadows, and gentle slopes that wind through tea plantations and cloud forests, offering breathtaking views of the valleys below.
Along the way, you’ll spot native birds, butterflies, and unique plants while listening to the peaceful sounds of nature. Our expert guides will share insights about the region’s wildlife and ecosystems, making this tour both relaxing and educational. You’ll ride on well-trained, healthy horses that are carefully looked after to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for all.
At the end of the ride, take a short break to relax your muscles while savoring a delicious Colombian coffee paired with a traditional cheese arepa.
