we were the first to make this tour. It was amazing. the scenery is breathtaking and our guide told so many stories that we had trouble remembering them all. We didn’t mind the altitude. But it is very cold at night near the summit. Therefore, be sure to follow the recommendations of the guide and have the right equipment with you! But you can also rent them on site for a good price
