Our parents are close to... - Our parents are close to 80 years of age and were unsure of capacity to climb to reservoir. Guide walked at their pace and kept us informed of their tour. Our parents felt accomplished and content. Great experience, would have not done it without your guide.

Magical place - Firstly, I thank our guide Yelitza, since without her motivation I would not have been able to finish climbing the mountain 😂 it was my first hiking tour. Both places, the stories, the legends are fascinating! We chose the included lunch option; delicious. We loved everything!!!
