The tour was very organized. They picked up us at time. We were 8 persons in the tour. They have oxigen just in case someone needed. We did one stop to take breakfast, a simple breakfast in a local restaurant. The guide Anibal was very nice, always in a happy mood. I liked him.
The experience was awesome. We start the tour at 7. There is a tour starting at 4:00 am and their pictures of the mountain were espectacular, no clouds, the sun rising and the colors of the mountain were brighter.
The wind, dust and cool were strong in the mountain, so I recommend to use big glasses to protect the eyes.
The lunch was in the same place.
I highly recommended this tour, it was a great experience at 5200 m above sea level.
