Summary:
We had an amazing experience with Omar and Martha at this beautiful hike! At the first rappel I was a little bit afraid as it was my first time, but Omar was super calm, professional and helpful! Obviously the views are absolutely stunning and 100% worth it! If you go there, I really recommend doing the tour with Gaia Xtreme!

Summary:
This is not for the faint of heart - but wow what a breathtaking and memorable experience. I felt safe with my guide and had a lot of candid photo moments that I wasn’t even expecting because it ended up being a solo trip. Timing was perfect too to catch the sun rising over the mountains from the main lookout point!
I’d highly highly recommend getting a good pair of hiking shoes and getting some experience at a rock climbing gym before going. While not required it definitely helped my confidence before going over the side of the mountain.
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and highly recommend to anyone willing to brave the heights for once in a lifetime views.

Summary:
Great experience with great guides! the initial hike to the first view point is tough so best to have a moderate fitness level, after that the traversing and climbing of the ridge to the peak is manageable if you have done any form of wall/rock climbing before. The rappelling was an amazing experience getting to view the entire valley while suspended midair hundreds of feet above the ground.
