I was really glad that I booked it since it has been one of the best hikes I have ever done. The scenery is amazing the climbing bit is really cool but what really made the difference and topped up the whole experience was Jessie our guide. We really enjoyed the fact that it was just two of us and she had time for us to make our tour even better. She is an amazing picture taker and we have gorgeous memories to take back home.

Our two guides guided a small group of three safely (we used helmets and ropes in a segment where others chose to climb unsecured) to the top. Communication in English no problem whatsoever and the guides had great knowledge of both wildlife and history of the area. Must do activity! (remember enough water!)

Deze hike was absoluut fantastisch. Zwaarder en gevaarlijker dan ik initieel had gedacht, maar absoluut de moeite waard! Je moet aardig wat klimmen, soms met een touw, maar het uitzicht op de top is alle moeite meer dan waard! Guilherme was onze gids en we hadden ons geen betere gids kunnen wensen. Een absolute liefhebber die iedere plant en bergtop in het gebied kent en die vol zit met verhalen van hikes die hij in zijn leven heeft gedaan. Voor avontuurlijk ingestelde mensen is dit een absolute aanrader!
