Risky

Unfortunately, they never showed up. We waited for hours to hear something back. Though they were trying to accommodate their mess up, we were traveling back home the same night so we could not chance it.

Great trip to a magnificent place

Great experience and great value for money! The guide was very nice and experienced, they picked us up at our hotel in the morning, and they provided clear explanations of the trip and tips to fight altitude sickness. The guide gave us further recommendations to visit another trail in the rainbow mountains. The food was also very good. Great experience!
