Fredonia awaits us
Located in the southwest of Antioquia in the foothills of the Cauca River, 60 km from Medellín, our headquarters is located, in the middle of different coffee landscapes, orange groves and cattle pastures, we will ride along peasant trails where the Antioquia culture was forged among its imposing mountains.
Our horses are of different breeds and some crosses between quarter horses, Creole Appaloosa, Spanish or mules will take us through the different corners of these mountains.
Our routes are designed for all levels, of different distances and landscapes. We will pass through forests that shade the best coffee plantations, also some forests that are still virgin, also through orange crops and livestock meadows.
Within a region with a great variety of altitudes in a single day we can change up to 1000 meters of altitude difference, which offers us a great variety of landscapes.
The duration of all routes will depend on the number of participants and the pace we follow during the tour.
