It was a very beautiful sight. The day of our hike the weather was perfect, a bit cold once we got there but once you start walking and climbing quickly becomes very warm. I recommend bringing a raincoat or a light jacket. Andrea was our guide and she was great! Very knowledgeable of the area, she went at a good pace and waited if anybody stayed behind. The hike itself it’s a bit tough if you’re not used to the altitude and exercise in general (which I am not) and it can be very challenging at times but it is definitely worth it. The breakfast and the lunch were delicious and I enjoyed it 100%. Definitely recommend.Zachary_J
