Great hike and experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Jalmir was a great tour guide and photographer. He was prompt in meeting us and taking us to the location. I was a bit scared by the stairs and chain portion of the hike to get all the way to the peak, but pushed through the steep stairs and was very happy. The whole thing took around 2 hours up (steep climb) and an hour ish down. Highly recommend!

Pictures

Excellent guide, took many pictures of me. However, I can't get them from my phone, can he send the picture s to me through my email richard2.handfield@gmailcom or lspm85@yahoo.com thanks

A scenic hike through the rainforest up to fantastic views.

Published on Nov, 2024

This is a gorgeous hike through the rain forest. It definitely requires a level of fitness as the climb is steep in some places and lengthy, with fantastic steps at the end. Sadly we went up on a rainy, misty day so we couldn't see what is probably a fantastic view through the clouds. But you can't predict the weather and the climb was still worth it. Especially as we were a very small group.
