Requires stamina. Bring your water bladder, snacks but light, light clothes for the dip in the river after the hike .

Excited to leave this review! The pros and the precautions! First the pros… my guide, Asia, and driver Rency (I think) were great. On time, fun to talk to, and the local hiking guide they paired us with Alexis, was a beast of a hiker. Guy even walked barefoot part of the way. Now the precautions! I made it to the summit, I’m not an experienced hiker, but I am in good shape. Tip one, DO NOT eat a heavy breakfast, in fact if you can, skip breakfast (I did), cuz the assent to station one is so challenging you don’t want to get sick. Two, bring twice the water you think you need!!! For the summit, you def need two liters, and drink them sparingly to make sure they last. Three, good footwear! Hiking boots preferred. I also had climbing gloves, but didn’t use them. Four, be honest with your physical ability. If you’re not in great shape or experienced hiker, you will not make it to the summit, and if it’s raining or rained recently it will be even more challenging. If you tap out early, there are alternative paths they take you on to get down, BUT getting down is just as challenging as getting up. All in all… the hike whooped my butt, I ran out of water, BUT I feel like a beast for making it to the summit! Letssss goooo!!!!

Intense short hike with a great view from the top. The swim in the Tinipak river was a great way to cool off after with its clear and cool waters. Asia was knowledgeable about the area and a phenomenal guide for the day. Hike guide Willy was great as well and set a good pace over the rocky terrain on the way to the top. Highly recommend.

Amazing trip for me, Asia was an excellent and kind guide for the day, and Pedro a good driver. Communications easy from the outset, early start well worth it to beat the traffic, and fabulous scenery to experience. Do be prepared for more of a clamber over muddy rocks than a hike, gloves sold at site well worth the 50 pesos, you need them for the climb up and down. I loved it, but it might not be for everyone. Amazing visit to caves and dip in Tinipak was very welcome. An expensive trip for me travelling solo, sadly I don’t think much of that high fee gets to our guides on the day.

I'm pretty sure I have already left a review. Is there another site? This was an awesome trip and we went on the weekday so there was no one else except my partner and me. Terrific experience and highly recommended. The tour guide was extremely helpful as well.
