5.00This hike was my first in the Andes and it was absolutely stunning. The guide, Nicola, knew a lot about the place, was very kind and spoke great English. The tour started with a hike up the mountain and I got lucky: an Andean Condor flew right above our heads on one of the lookout points. The hike on top of the mountain is breathtaking. I would recommend the shorter tour for people who are used to hiking but don't want to commit to 8 hours. It is not an easy hike, but with somewhat decent fitness very doable. It often can be difficult to find a tour that is bookable for one person. So I was very happy when I found this tour! The communication with the tour agency was also super easy and great.
