Primero te contactaran por aparte para tramitar tu permiso de trecking que no va incluido y que parece costoso hasta que vas y te das cuenta del inmenso trabajo y logística que representa esta actividad (confía en la agencia) esto me costó por que soy mexicana. Lleva ropa adecuada, pantalones largos, algo abrigador e impermeable y botas de montaña, agua, comida y dinero para propinas.
