What our guests say

The Risaralda ride was truly magical from start to finish – the horses were outstanding, the scenery magnificent – riding through mountainside coffee farms and small towns to spectacular waterfalls and hot springs – and the accommodations were lovely. Our guide Marc brought a unique personal touch to ensuring we all enjoyed our trip. His love for his adopted country and his horses is evident in every detail, from how he matched each rider to the horse that was just right for them to his obvious delight in sharing each experience with us.

I am still thinking about this trip a week after I returned home and finding myself describing the experience to my friends as ‘perfect’ The Risaralda ride with Marc is indeed special. The landscape is beautiful, varied and replete with birds and flora. The horses are talented, reliable and fun to ride. Every detail of this trip has been thoughtfully chosen and carefully executed, from each day’s route to the accommodation and meals, to matching of horse and rider. It was just a joy to take part. I am already planning my next Colombian adventure to Rancho Saman

If you only have one chance to go on an equitrek/riding vacation, this is the one you want to do. The horses are trained and cared for by Marc and his love for them shines through in how they respond to him and how healthy they are. Meals were all delicious (especially after riding all day!) and every place we stayed was unique, with happy, friendly hosts. The countryside is drop dead gorgeous, with steep hills covered in coffee and dotted along the ridges with tiny towns. I absolutely recommend Rancho Saman for an exceptional riding vacation!

Born from a love of adventure

Colombia is where I found Red, my horse, my friend and travel companion. Together we travelled the length of this stunning country, and over and over again I was, and continue to be, blown away by the warmth, generosity and hospitality of the Colombian people. And it is together we started Rancho Saman.

We are proud now to call Colombia home, and are very excited to share this wonderful place with you.
