Fantastic views and a great day! - This experience was wonderful and I'm grateful to Omar for the expert guided hike experience. The meet up was easy to find (just sit by the MXCD sign), and the drive out didn't have too bad of traffic. The hike was tough, but I think I was the least experienced of the tour group and I had a bad cold at the time. The ladder was such a unique experience! The safety guidelines helped even the most nervous among us feel comfortable. I appreciated the small size of the group so we all got to know each other. The views were stunning throughout with lots of great photos and memories made. 10/10!

A hike beyond the ladder. - This is a short, straight up hike to a series of overlooks to the valley you just left. I am a pretty experienced hiker, and due to the slippery trail (scree, and dirt), altitudes I rarely visit, and not to mention the ladder, I found the hike challenging. The views are worth it, and Omar was a great guide. He stopped often, and made sure we were prepared. The way back down includes a hike along the river which was a lovely surprise.

Loved this hike (and guide) - Omar was the perfect guide and we enjoyed the hike so much. We felt very safe with him the whole time and he was very friendly and patient with the group. Loved the conversations and the beauty of the nature. Omar even stopped at a local street vendor so we could get a tamal before the hike because we didn’t come prepared (sorry Omar!) but we’re not really sorry because it was the best tamales we’ve ever had 🤤 Highly recommend this hike and Omar 👍👍

My experience with friends - Getting to see the top of the mountain was the biggest highlight. Though the hike can be tiring, it is a great experience. Also the ladder might look scary, but is actually quite thrilling.
