Most incredible views - don’t miss this!

5.00If you get a chance, don’t miss this! The most spectacular experience and views. Our guide, Alejandro, was absolutely incredible- funny and engaging! He told us so many interesting and fun facts. Something to note, once you arrive at the starting point (a bit of a walk but beautiful), you may have to ask around until you find where you need to line up and which group you’re with. I was looking for a marker or a sign but there weren’t any. Make sure you show your ticket to the people working there and they will direct you where to go. Hope you enjoy this memorable experience!
Dramatic but extremely overcrowded.

2.00Over crowded. You’ll be walking with between 30 and 100 others. The guide did their best but it’s very very slow, due to so many people trying to get through the bottlenecks such as the wire bridge while taking endless selfies.
Need to be fairly fit as walk to, and especially from the end of the trek, is longer than you think

4.00Omar was a superb guide. The main thing letting the experience down a bit was poor signage about where to go once you arrive to find the assembly and starting points , and poor info on toilet facilities. Finally, the very long walk afterwards to the shuttle bus on a sloping stony terrain took at least 20+ minutes in what turned out to be an unexpectedly very hot sunny day in October (34 degrees) with no shade. We managed alright but others were in physical distress.
Great way to explore !!
