Before starting the trek, our guides will give some useful tips so you can walk safely to the top of the mountain. The hike will start at 4,800 meters above sea level, which is why we need to take it calmly and slowly. Once at the top of the mountain, you’ll realize that all that hard work has paid off! Our guides will explain the origin of the mountain and will give you some free time so you can fully appreciate this natural wonder.
