I had never heard of this place but the agency recommended me to visit and I thank you because I gained an experience that I liked , the agency gave me the information I needed to be able to travel to this place,that is why I recommend you to wear the appropriate footwear that does not slip,carry a snack in your backpack for the walk and something very important that they stressed to us was acclimatization so as not to have later problems
