What you can expect

  • Embark on an unforgettable horseback ride to La Carbonera, Tolima, and discover the best-kept secret of the wax palm. Unlike other destinations, this gem offers you the densest and most extensive wax palm forest in Colombia in an environment of pure and natural landscapes, free from mass tourism. Ride along peaceful bridle paths and mountains that seem to touch the sky, enjoying an authentic experience and a deep connection with nature, where the only crowd you'll find will be that of the majestic trees.
    Start your adventure with Step 1: Transport by Jeep Willys. We'll pick you up in Salento to start an exciting journey in an authentic 4×4 Willys Jeep, crossing mountain landscapes until we reach the remote region of La Carbonera.

    Upon arrival, Step 2 awaits you: Welcome and Equestrian Encounter. Our local guide will give you a warm welcome and introduce you to the horses, ready for the horseback ride. You'll have plenty of time to get ready before riding.

    Then, start Step 3: The Horseback Ride among Wax Palms. For one to two hours, you'll be immersed in the majestic landscape of wax palms, riding along trails that take you to the most natural and least explored corners of La Carbonera. It is an unparalleled experience in the heart of the Andean ecosystem.

    Once the horseback riding tour is over, Step 4: Country Snack awaits you. Enjoy a well-deserved break with a delicious local snack, perfect for recharging your batteries while you take in the tranquility of the forest.

    Finally, Step 5: Return to Salento by Jeep brings the day to a close. You'll board the Jeep Willys again for a comfortable and safe drop-off, taking with you the unforgettable memories of having explored the largest wax palm sanctuary in Colombia.
