** CAN WE TEMPT YOU AWAY TO COLOMBIA? **
We have one rider keen to book the 23 February-4 March Barichara Ride. Would you like to join them for some adventurous riding off the beaten track?
Escape to Colombia for an adventure in the sunshine.
Our Barichara Ride explores the province of Santander, famous for its mountain ranges, coffee plantations, colonial architecture and of course Barichara, hailed as Colombia's prettiest town.
Setting off from the town of Oiba, pass by villages and sugar cane plantations, ride through humid rainforest and stop for a dip in waterfalls. Follow in the footsteps Conquistadors, settlers, and later the patriots who proclaimed the country’s Independence. The route takes you along the famous cobblestone paths of the ‘Camino Real’ (royal roads), which lead you to the hilltop colonial town of Barichara.
The horses on this ride are incredibly tough and fit. You'll be amazed at how they handle the river crossings, rocky terrain and steep mountain paths. They are as willing to canter for long stretches on the final day as they are on the first!
