Começo de fim de semana espectacular, caminhada pelo meio da Natureza que nos leva a um lugar lindo, pelo caminho tínhamos vistas fantásticas, quando atingimos o topo ficamos fascinados, a guia Natasha foi incansável, sempre a dar dicas da melhor forma de subir e sempre disposta a ajudar.

This hike was a perfect combination of challenge and pleasure. It had fantastic views and the top of the mountain was stunning. Andre was nice and very helpful throughout the entire hike. He pointed out vegetation and hints on how to maneuver the difficult climbing portions. I would highly recommend them.

Très belle randonnée avec guide passionné et passionnant ! André, qui parle français, nous a totalement pris en charge : il est venu nous chercher et déposer sur notre lieu de vacances et a prévu eau et nourriture (appréciable et sans surcoût !). Il transmet ses connaissances sur la faune et la flore et a même su motiver nos 2 grands ados ! Niveau de rando intermédiaire avec une végétation surprenante par sa densité et un dénivelé plutôt important, impossible à faire sans guide. A recommander aux initiés ou sportifs !

This hike was a lot more challenging than I expected. Much of it was hiking up (and scooting back down on) rocks. I was nervous, but Natasha, the guide, was very helpful with giving me hints on how to climb up and down. She was very patient with me. I am glad I did the hike.

My boyfriend and I completed this tour in April and it was a hugely rewarding experience. Our friendly guide Natasha collected us from our hotel at the specified time and brought us to the park to begin our hike. She explained lots along the way and has extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna. She also answered any of the questions we had. Natasha paced our hike exceptionally well and stopped every so often for a break/picture stop. She highlighted some areas of difficulty and suggested ways to manoeuvre around them. When we reached the peak, we had some time to ourselves for picture taking. We then started our descent and returned to our hotel in good time. An overall rewarding and thrilling experience and we would highly recommend Natasha as a guide. Exceptional tour!
