Physically challenging - highly recommend! - I highly recommend this experience. Martín was my guide and he was very friendly, polite, and patient with my pace and need to take breaks. This is a physically demanding activity, but entirely worth it. I made it to the top! 😄

A very nice place - highly recommended - It was not possible to go up to the crater due to forest fires, but it was a good experience, with attentive and friendly treatment from the company.

Recommended 100% - A beautiful experience for adventurers who want to know the world, the snow is beautiful and we were lucky to see it with snow. I recommend it for people with good physical condition since the altitude of more than 4000 meters demands a lot from you.
