Great experience with Gabriel and Beatriz who were great guides, both reassuring and kind! I recommend!
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Even though the hike was difficult, our guide, Bea, was great at helping and making it easier all the way through. And thanks to her, we got some beautiful photos!
We had a great experience! Our guide Bea was very helpful and took amazing pictures. The early morning was more than worth it for the view. There were some steep sections on the hike, but Bea made sure everyone made it up and down safely. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide!
