5.00Our experience doing the tour and it was amazing. We did the three-day tour. We are very grateful to our guide Johnny, who has accompanied us throughout the journey helping us in any way possible and without him we would not have managed to face and reach the top. Johnny has taught us, he has gone at our pace and motivated us to achieve it. Unforgettable experience, thank you very much Johnny!

Thank you All Transport and thank you Jhonny!!
