5.00Amazing experience! The explosions are so impressive when you up there. The guide, Giuseppe, was really kind and he helped me in moments i was a bit scared of the path. The descent in the dark was so beautiful when all you hear is explosions, crickets singing and you see the stars. Absolutly amazing!
Beautiful hike with phenomenal views!

5.00Wow, what a fantastic experience! It’s a tough climb if you’re 60+ and moderately fit, but really worth it. Our guides, Nino and Frederico, were first class. I’d highly recommend booking with this company, you will not be disappointed!
