    Even though couldn’t hike to the top due to constraint of the weather, the guide spoke good English and managed to arrange another activity.

    This was the best experience of our trip (and we took many tours on our 3 week vacation). The staff organizing the trip ensured we were well-prepared for the hike. Joaquin, our guide, was very knowledgeable, funny, and encouraged us throughout the hike in all the right ways. He felt like a friend by the end of the day. The hike itself was difficult, but beautiful and very rewarding. The way down was extremely fun, sliding down the mountain. I would highly recommend it!

    I just sent a message on what’s app and got sorted so quickly. Super friendly staff - boots, gloves, backpack with all the snow bits in it and a little granola snack were all provided. I ended up being the only person on this particular trip with guide Blas and it was awesome! He is super knowledgable and knows the mountains so well - we had a bit of craic along the way too! Nothing like you’re own private tour😅 The summit was closed due to volcano activity being risky so I will have to come back again to get a look in the crater!

    Climbing the mountain was one of the most challenging moments of my trip in South America, the views are stunning, the experience of climbing a Tahaga volcano to the mouth is overwhelming. The climb is difficult and suitable for the physically fit. The descent is in a hurry with fun surfing, scary loading, we went with the company .backpackerpucon,they were amazing, I really recommend to do this
