It was a great time and very exciting experience. Me and my friend had in fact a prive tour with assistance of 4 additional people! Our guide, Amilcar was very helpful and he adopted the speed of the walk to our pace. Wilson- our driver was conducting the car so safely that despite difficult road conditions, I felt 100% safe! And Grimaldo- the best cook you could possibly have, especially in such circumstances. We were treated with delicious 3-courses meals abd amazing desserts. A pancake for a breakfast at 4700 at 3 a.m.? Why not? I truly recommend this adventure!
