5.00Ir was an extraordinary experience in the worst of climatic conditions yet the two guides made it not only possible -we reached the summit under a snow storm, but vía a safe and very pleasurable trip-adventure. One guide was an expert botanist and the other a fine chef! What a pleasure to share mountain experiences with the Espeletia guides (Teo and Camilo)! We highly recommend them for any trip on the challenging and beautiful mountains and volcanos of Colombia!!
Security, professionalism, charisma and much adventure!!
