Be aware that you will be trekking with our people of various skill and physical capabilities. Our hike started at 9:00 am. Our guide, Rodrigo, was very thorough in explaining the route and the times it should take from start to base camp, to summit. I finished at 5:05 pm. The hiker finally struggled in at 10:00 pm. So, a 5 hour wait. I'm 67 years old, and the oldest in the group by decades. I think the tour should have target points along the way, and if the hiker is doesn't make the point, they should be turned back. Proficient hikers should not have to wait for more than an hour or so.
Quite an intense 8 hour hike, we got to experience all sorts of weather with sun, wind, rain and snow. Be sure ot wear hiking boots and various clothing layers. Welcome center and camping half-way accept card payments for food/drinks
Service provided is perfect, irretrievable... Punctual with schedule, provide necessary equipment for security such as, lantern, sticks, crampons and polaines.
Amazing experience. The guides very friendly, the environment very cared for and without trash. It's a demanding tour but it's worth a lot
It’s a full day, 21 k round trip. You pass through a forest, look down into a river gorge, and, if you’re lucky, get a stunning view of the towers across a glacial lake. A shout out to our fantastic guide, Lorena.
The mountain and trail itself is phenomenal. Definitely an epic trek of a lifetime. Don't bother with a guide for the base trek. Out guide left us and 3/4 of ou group in the dust within 5 minutes of the start and lost us on the way down. Trail and Park is well established and marked. Park entrance fee is an incremental cost anyway so your cost is really just for transportation and someone who reads facts you can look up on Wikipedia
