Not worth it
Bree_L, Jan 2024
The six hour duration is very deceptive. The hike only took and hour to get to the top and once we were there I felt extremely rushed to get down. He told us once he picked us up that he knew we were not going to be able to see anything at the top because of the clouds. I don't understand why he would not tell us that before we left and see if we wanted to reschedule because we did only end up seeing white at the top and then he rushed us to leave and therefore we weren't able to see if the cloud passed. It was fine but I felt very rushed and like I couldn't look around while hiking. I think I would have enjoyed this much more if I just went with my group and not a guide and got to do things at our own pace. Don't get me wrong though our guide was very nice this was just not worth what we paid since I thought we were getting a six hour experience and to be able to see the city from the top.

The hike was truly challenging but doable for us. We are 67 years old and found the lengthy hike, well, strenuous and we are pretty fit. Wear wool socks and really good shoes. Lots of climbing but we loved it. Our guide Sergio was informative and comical and shared many interesting facts. Our calves are sore today but it was well worth it.
Perfect Day
