Sprawling over 1,141,748 square kilometers (440,831 square miles), the world’s twenty-fifth largest country boasts plenty of incredible horseback riding spots.

Among the most popular is to spend a half-day riding to the Cueva del Esplendor from Jardín, near Cali. Sitting at the foot of the Andes, the easy ride takes participants through forests and over rivers, admiring incredible views en route to the cave, where it is possible to swim and hike as well.

Tayrona National Park, at the very north of the country, is another popular spot for horseback riding. Boasting coastal jungles and pristine beaches, there are kilometers and kilometers of terrain to cover. Heading on horseback is the best way to see as much of this stunning part of northern Colombia as you can.

Away from the aforementioned places, the eastern plains, San Agustin, Providencia and San Andres, the Cocora Valley and Buritaca are other popular spots to explore.
