Wow! Amazing Blue Sky and Other Views - My husband and I are regular hikers, but not used to the high altitude. With the guidance of Ecotura we decided to take this amazing hike, however they did make my husband get a note from his doctor verifying he could accomplish the hike. As it turned out, we completed the hike in almost half the time expected, and the altitude was not a problem. Our expert guide was Carlos who encouraged us to take it slow and easy, which we did. The views are amazing, but also amazing was the quiet - I think this was the most quiet space I have ever experienced. We went during the week so there were only a few other hikers. Highly recommend.

Amazing hike with Ecotura at 4000+ altitude - Amazing views and somewhat okay difficulty even with the altitude. Very professional and kind guides, behind the wheel and on the trails. They were very helpful with everyone and it was fun exchanging with Carlos both in a language but unsestanding each other. The food was good and in suficient quantity. The group was mostly locals which is usually a very good sign this is a serious company. Would recommend to anyone.

Excellent agency if you go alone (woman) - I have done more than 5 routes with them. I almost always go alone and have felt safe in all aspects and very comfortable with the groups. I definitely recommend them. Thank you very much

Thanks! - Our guides and driver were great! Helped us go slow, get the pacing right so that we didn't really get altitude sickness. The hike didn't gain as much elevation as I thought - which was a good thing because even though we hike at home, we were not used to this elevation. The team really took care of us including lunch after the hike and I really appreciated having them as our guides.
