our guide Priya really knew their stuff and the ridge viewpoint at the top was the highlight, and honestly better than the hike we did in Cancun last year, tbh

our guide Dmitri sorted everything for us and the last scramble to the summit was the highlight, and handy if youre short on time, and a 3 hour climb.

our guide Jonas really knew their stuff and the ridge viewpoint at the top was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Last day of the trip, and perfect for first-timers, and the 1200m of ascent was no joke. Would book again no question.

our guide Joseph couldnt do enough for us and the last scramble to the summit was the highlight. On a rainy sunday so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and the 1200m of ascent was no joke, and handy if youre short on time, and the 1200m of ascent was no joke. Would book again no question.

our guide Carla was nice enough, but the last scramble to the summit felt a bit rushed honestly, and would only really suit you if youre not fussy, a 3 hour climb.
