Natural beauty
You must keep in mind that you have to walk up the mountain. The good thing about everything is that our guide Joel was very patient, he advised us. It was worth it. A Spectacular place!🥰 Follow the instructions on clothing, that will help you a lot. From the moment I get up until I return to my destination, the agency is always sending messages about how I'm doing, if everyone is okay, and at the end of the day, instructions for the next activity. The drivers were always punctual at the pick-up time.
