Our guide saved the day on Rainbow Mountain. He noticed I was breathing heavily, handed me some oxishot and local mint oil to inhale, and walked at my exact slow pace. That kind of care made all the difference.
Very good excursion. Hotel pickup as planned. Admittedly with a little delay, but notified by the guide (it's because he has to pick up the other people in the group). The guide's communication is good. He spoke both Spanish for the other people in the group and English for us. Otherwise, the landscapes are breathtaking. That is an understatement, because the climb to the lake is not to be taken lightly...
