Traveler reviews
Excellent hike/trek
Fantastic 2 day, 1 night experience. Our guide Saul was excellent. The skypods gave us a great view of the stars. The food and snacks were filling and tasty
Amazing Trek
This was a challenging trek but definitely so worth it! I was so thankful to have Marco as our guide, he was so kind, patient, and fun to be around. Overall a great and very meaningful experience!
Difficult but 100% worth it
Amazing experience! Even the 2-day trek is difficult, but doable. Definitely train for at least 6-8 weeks before to get ready for the physical nature of this hike! Diamox saved my fiancée and I, as we are from Florida and are not used to altitude. Marco was our tour guide and was amazing. He kept our group together and was patient through different hiker speeds, my fiancées knee problems, and made us feel supported throughout!
