He gave us great advice before we left and made sure we understood. We also received messages from Jessica in the office explaining everything the day before, and during the day to check we were doing ok. The hike itself was fantastic; breath-taking views both for sunrise and the walking sections. Be prepared that it will be busy and not everyone is polite when it comes to sharing a narrow path- but that is the same…”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our hike. Started in the dark which was a bit daunting but also fun! Luis our driver was so so lovely, hilariously funny and made our journey up and down such fun, he had us laughing non stop! The hike itself is a beautiful hike, very easy, minimal fitness level required in my opinion, once you’re able for a few hours walking you’ll be fine. Glad we went early as the crowds were coming in their droves when we were walking back down! Cafe at end is cash only if you’d like a coffee/sandwich when you are finished!Read more”

He was always checking the group if we are OK and the pace of the hike itself was really not crazy, there were breaks so everyone could keep up. Thank you so much Carlos for being such a positive sunshine like the one we saw at sunrise ;)”
