Itinerary
The Eastern Hills are a staple of Bogotá’s outdoor activities. Great hikes, amazing views, and religious monuments look over the busy capital below. And among these hills, the twins Guadalupe and Monserrate are most well-known and visited. With us you will get to know them in a whole new way: riding!
For a start our guide will pick you up at the hotel. The driver will head south through the mountains to the first destination: Guadalupe, where you’ll have the first views of the city. Then you will be taking the trails that connect the sister hills.
Energized, mount your horse and ride the trail that will take you back to Colombia’s religious colonialism and the transformations it caused. Enjoy the horseback ride tour through mountain and forest into Monserrate, learn of the indigenous and rural traditions and their connection to the hills, before reaching the famous viewpoints and cathedral.
Pass by: A walk along important spots of the city such as the emblematic Casa Museo Quinta de Bolivar
Pass by: Finally, seize the afternoon enjoying the views before descending back to Bogotá in cable car or funicular. Our team will make sure you end up this day by arriving safely and thrilled. Take the experience of visiting the most touristic spot in Bogotá to the next level, by transforming it into a memorable journey.

Def Recommend!
I had an absolute blast and I give a Big thanks to my tour guide Diego. He made sure I felt Safe the entire tour and kept checking that I am confortable. He met me on time and was very friendly. He is very knowlegable of the history of Bogota and Guatalupe and Monserrate. This was my first tour with Gran Colombia Tours and the whole process was very smooth. Def recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing horseback!
The tour guide, Angel, is completely fluent in English, was a super nice guy, and stayed with you the entire day (pick-up/drop-off and ride). The horse facility is surprisingly only 40 minutes from downtown Bogota. Jesus, the horse guide, was also very nice and friendly. The property is massive and set high in the mountains where you have tremendous views of the area from above.
Hello, so we did the...
Hello, so we did the horseback riding tour yesterday and it was beautiful. However, the description said a snack was included and that was false. We went to the first stop and went to get on the horses and I was still expecting food, but none ever came so by the time we got to the end of the horseback ride I was dying. So we had to stop and get food at one of the food stands at the top of the mountain. Other than that it was amazing. But I don’t think you guys should advertise that you offer food if you don’t because that is kind of a key issue especially for a six hour excursion. If no snack was going to be given to us, he should’ve said some thing, and then I would’ve bought some food at our first stop from one of the vendors.
Guadalupe to Monserrat
Excellent trip that definitely tested me. My girls had a great time and are ready to go again! The trip guide was knowledgeable and patient with us. I would recommend this trip to other horse enthusiasts.
One of the best.
We did not get to do the horse-riding trip because there was a landslide. We were fortunate to change it for another trip which the tour company was willing to do and was also given a refund. Jose the tour guide was very friendly and accommodative. Hats off to Viator.
