Very very good :) We loved this experience
This was a great country side ride. We saw waterfalls, hiked around and played with some animals at a local finca. It was fun and authentic. Totally worth it. Amazing views.
Fun experience riding horses. The stop was on top of the mountain where we got off and had to hike down a steep dirt path to see a beautiful waterfall. It wasn’t that easy.
This tour had breathtaking views of the city and also being deep in nature, the tour guide took us different spots where we took some nice pictures to remember our experience. The horses were beautiful and listened really well. Overall I would do this again.
Horseback riding in Salento was a lovely experience, offering beautiful views and a peaceful way to explore the area. The staff were friendly and helpful, which added to the experience. However, it did feel a bit overpriced, especially compared to other activities in the region. If you’re planning to go, I recommend waiting until you’re there to book—you can often negotiate a better price. It’s a great activity overall, but they could improve by offering more reasonable rates for tourists.
The hike and horse riding across the Cocora Valley was absolutely gorgeous. Our guide Nicolas was very friendly, helpful and explained a lot about the nature of the Cocora Valley. This was an amazing experience, I would definitely book with Cocora tours again, especially with our guide Nicolas!
My friend and I had a great time on this tour. We loved the combination of horse riding (for around 45 minutes or so) and hiking. Our guide Nicolas was friendly and knowledgeable and a great company on this adventure. We learned a lot about the surrounding nature and valley (impressive palm trees and we saw lots of hummingbirds) The tour was very well organised and structured and we were well prepared for it with hiking/walking shoes (proper shoes are definitely needed as this is not a walk in the park, it was a proper hike for several hours which we really enjoyed) I also want to note that the horses looked very well looked after and trained and the guide for the horse riding part was also great with the animals and with us (very friendly) Thanks a lot for this day at the Cocora Valley! We had a great time and would love to come back one day
A very nice activity in Salento, we decided to visit the viewpoints and the river on horseback. Very calm mid-June, very friendly guides, a group of 5 people and sunshine!
Nicholas was an absolute amazing tour guide. So informative and we would not have made it without him. The problem is this tour is NOT for persons without hiking experience. This tour is NOT for people 55 and above. Viator NEVER made us aware that you hiking needed experience to make it through. The horse ride was wonderful. Our guide was fantastic. But having to walk for another 6 hours or so with no experience in mountain and rock climbing was a huge disappointment for us. Shame on Viator for not warning their customers first. Obviously they only care about the ticket sales and not the customers. Thank you Nicholas.. we would not have made it without you!
Very good experience! Nicolas my guid was very helpfull and help me to complete all the route. The valley is beautifull and the horse ride is a must :)
