We 1000% recommend this tour! Marc and Marian are incredible guides! They were extremely knowledgeable about the park and its history. They were quick to show us the best spots for pictures and went at our group’s pace. Be sure to bring warm clothes, the hike can get cold. But the views are stunning! Please choose this tour (and be sure to stop at the Hosteria Guagrahuma restaurant after the hike).
Excellent day trip hike!

This was an excellent tour. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique experience. We were picked up and taken on the hike which was completely remote from any other tours. We didn’t see a single person other than our small group the entire time. 100% recommend for folks looking for a private experience.
