A great experience through the mountains! - Excellent mountain riding, horses are very docile and Juan David is a great guide, knows the place very well and makes you feel safe on your horse. We saw a couple of very nice ravines and the visit to the Duguanawi stone of the Kogui culture was the best. Mauricio the kogui guide is a very friendly or wise person. Lunch was delicious and the place to rest was very rich. 😋

Great activity! - The riding was really great fun. There were no other people who booked the excursion at the same time as us, so we had a private tour.🤩 From the starting point through the water of the river we went into the forest. Beautiful surroundings in which you only hear the stepping of the horses and the sounds of nature and its inhabitants. We had both ridden horses before and our hotel was on the beach where we would chill for 2 hours. That's why we left out the 2 hours on the beach. Instead, we galloped down the beach a few times 🤩 and then back to the starting point. We drove more than 2 hours and it was really great. The owner of the horses is a very sweet man who really loves his horses and takes good care of them. The horses also looked really good and they were super sweet. A little cocky now and then, but that's part of it. :) Certainly worth repeating. :)

Tierra nativa experience - Leading this horseback ride to Playa Los Naranjos is always a joy for me. Sharing the wonders of this beautiful landscape with visitors is incredibly rewarding. Along the trail, I love pointing out the medicinal plants that have been used for generations by local communities—it’s amazing to see how nature provides so much. The birdlife here is equally fascinating, and I take pride in helping guests spot and identify the different species, from colorful parrots to majestic herons. Seeing their excitement as we reach the beach, with its golden sand and turquoise waters, makes every tour special. It’s a privilege to guide people through this magical place and share the stories of its flora and fauna.

SCAM - SCAM. I have paid 77 Euros for 3h route and it has been less than 2. The horses have not passed the jog at any time, despite having requested to gallop on several occasions. We haven't galloped on the beach. The route is very short and simple: same round trip. They pretended to be standing on the beach for an hour, on foot, doing nothing. When we have claimed, we have been offered 10% or a tour for tomorrow, but we will no longer be there. Very poor management and very poor customer service. We have never felt so ripped off on any other trip/experience. DISAPPOINTMENT.

Theft - Unprofessionalism on the part of the organizers. Little humility for not assuming the mistakes of this tour, exorbitant price for what they offer. We generated the complaint as the tour specifies that it is 3h, however our surprise was that it was only two hours. In fact, it didn't even get to two hours because part of it was a dramatic car. Not only is it expensive, it's much less time than expected in the end, which generates frustration because you clearly see that you're being robbed. Tour not recommended because of the problems I explain and ends up being expensive because the quality of the tour leaves much to be desired. Horses in my opinion not in very good condition, travel anything special or different, normal. These people, pretend that on a beach (end of the tour) without being able to bathe and with nothing to do beyond 4 photos, you are the time we talked about without riding horses. The horseback riding tour is 3h, you can understand breaks but not taking piss of this calibre. It is not worth it, without exception route through the Tayrona on foot much more beautiful and enjoyable and if you are lucky enough to go through other areas of Colombia, you can ride horses, example coffee axis. Much better. In fact, Tayrona offers routes through the reserve, horses seem in good shape if you fancy too much is a much better option than Kogui Native Land

Nice beach but the horses were not tamed and it was a bit expensive for the experience. - The beach was very pretty but the horses were not tamed. They kept bucking and fighting a lot. Not very safe. Also, I thought for the price it was not worth it.
