At Monte & Panela you’ll be welcomed directly by our family, no intermediaries. We are a 100-year-old, family-run finca in the Andes Mountains that opens its doors to small groups only, ensuring a warm and personal experience.

We’ll pick you up right at your door and bring you straight into nature, where our family will welcome you with mountain views, fresh Colombian coffee, and the kind of breakfast our grandma used to make for us, completely handmade with love, using ingredients grown right here on the farm.

Animal welfare is at the heart of everything we do. Our animals live freely, are never caged, and are cared for with respect and kindness. You’ll get to interact with them up close: feed calves, milk cows, and bond with our gentle, well-loved horses.

Then we saddle up and to explore the Andes on horseback. The entire ride is across our private 200-acre property—no public roads, no pavement, just pure nature and the peaceful mountains which makes the experience totally safe for you and the horses. At the top, you’ll feed the horses yourself with some carrots and take in the breathtaking views while resting in a hammock with a fresh fruit bowl during a peaceful picnic break.

I’m Juan José, third-generation caretaker of Monte & Panela. This land carries my family’s history, and it’s my joy to share our stories, our daily life, and the traditions we hold close. I will personally accompany you throughout the experience, making sure you feel welcomed as part of our family.
