1.00They canceled the night before; it was our last weekend, and we could no longer go. They said it was because there were no more people, and I am not surprised now because of the bad attitude they had. I do not recommend it.
Great guides and view

5.00The van ride to and from Pana was very comfortable. Our guides were Humberto Senior and Junior, good English and wonderfully friendly. The hike itself is mostly just up on very dry, dusty, slippery soil with lots of tall steps so you must be in reasonably good shape, but it’s worth it - the sunrise view and the view of the surrounding lake and volcanoes is fantastic. Strongly recommend this tour.
