Très belle expérience, Oscar notre chauffeur était génial. Nous étions en petit comité de trois et c’était vraiment top. Nous avons fait l’ascension jusqu’au glacier, malgré la météo capricieuse ce fut une belle expérience. Nous avons ensuite mangé dans un restaurant équatorien et au fur et à mesure de la journée Oscar nous en a dit beaucoup sur l’environnement. Je recommande fortement. De plus lors de l’achat de l’excursion tout est détaillé, Oscar est venu me chercher à l’Hostel où je loge le matin à 8h sans problème, merci pour cette journée. N’hésitez pas
