Recommendations
- Do the route taking into account your physical condition and adaptation to the altitude. We recommend doing the hike after a few days of acclimatization. Our tour guides carry a first aid kit and an oxygen tank for use if needed.
- We recommend wearing proper hiking shoes, as this is a high-mountain route.
- Bring a backpack (maximum 25 liters) to carry your camera, hat, sunscreen, and a bottle of water.
- It sometimes rains in the mountains, so we recommend bringing a jacket to protect yourself from rain and cold, as well as a spare shirt you can leave in the transport to change into after the hike.
- You may also bring coca leaves or coca candies, as they provide extra energy during the hike.
