I am delighted with this trip: my first travel/hiking experience. The hotel was immaculate, and the welcome was warm. The full board was excellent and generous, both in terms of picnics and high-quality regional dishes at dinner. The guides were also excellent, sharing their knowledge of the natural environment and the region with us as we explored: history, geology, volcanism, fauna, flora, and even tales and legends. They were also very attentive and offered excellent advice, helping me push my limits when the route seemed to become difficult and suggesting ascents I would never have thought possible. These ideal conditions certainly contributed to the lighthearted and friendly atmosphere shared by the entire group. I feel lucky to have spent these few days in such joyful company.
