Highlights
At the start of the day we pick you up in Palomino, either at your accomodation or if you come from somewhere else we will send you a meeting point. With our trusted motortaxis we get you to our farm. You get an explanation of our project and we will explain you how we ride. We get on the horses and make a beautiful trip to nature. We will pass our neighbours land, go on the old trails used by indigenous people (and most probable see some on the way). We enjoy a swim in the gorgeous river. Around midday we have a lunch at a local farm, and see how they live. We will head back to the farm and finish the day! We work with rescue horses, choosing us means giving these animals the best life ever! We cannot accept people over 90KG, there is a maximum weight the horses can carry (20% of their body weight), and we work with local mountain horses which are not the biggest breed. But they are strong and the most useful in the terrain we are located.

Itinerary
Come and join us on our jungle tour. We will start at our Ranch and after an instruction we will hit the road. We will ride over the hills of a cow farm, which brings us to the jungle trails. At a gorgeous river beach we will take a break and go for a swim. We always see if the horses as well want to take a swim! After the swim we ride towards a farm and have a local lunch.

About Santa Marta
Santa Marta is Colombia's oldest surviving colonial city, a Caribbean port below the Sierra Nevada and close to Tayrona Park and the Lost City trail.
Founded by the Spaniards in 1525, Santa Marta is the oldest surviving colonial city in Colombia, set on a bay where the Sierra Nevada, the highest coastal mountain range on earth, drops almost to the sea. Simón Bolívar died in 1830 at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, a hacienda just outside the centre, now a museum with botanical gardens. The old town has a cathedral, a seafront promenade and a gold museum in a colonial house.
