I choose to do the Sunrise tour and it was the best experience. There was no one on the trail as it was very dark and we made it to the top right before the sun came out. Because I was the only there my tour guide offered to take tons of photos of me. Would definitely do this again.

Pedro our guide was excellent. He let me take my time as I was needing to take frequent breaks to catch my breath. Depute all of that, we still did the hike in a little over an hour and we’re rewarded with an amazing view and great photos.
