5.00It's completely worth it!! The views are stunning! We had a splendid experience, we were touched by a great guide who encouraged me, informed us before the ascent and once up provided us with information of each mountain, was dynamic, close to us worried if we were okay and in the descent was watching me supporting me, in the quad bikes explained so well that the 3 of us understood each other with their hand movements. On my partner’s side, he has given us confidence, security that is necessary in the mountain and feeling that if any inconvenience happened he would know how to manage it. Christian has been a great guide, fun, friendly and you can tell he enjoys the mountain! Plus it does a few sss photos! The team dea xtravel very friendly, attentive, helpful definitely never fail to choose xtravel for my trips!!
It was my birthday and I had a great time!! Thanks to Xtravel's friends. Especially the young wilfredo guide

5.00One of the quietest tours I had, literally was me and nature. There were no more tourists, that was what my taste more, José José told us many stories, and he encouraged us to keep walking It was a more spiritual tour. ADD José José.
Very quiet

5.00A very very beautiful experience, we had a very sunny day but at the end of the tour it started to rain. But it was still 100% worth it. We had a guide to jose jose Very good at his job, very patient a great person, who was aware of the group. I ran, to catch up with the first ones then came back for us who were in the last position, very attentive The place is very quiet, we didn't have to see many people like on other tours. We were our group led by jose jose, nature and no one else. Thank you very much jose jose
