    Papi tour

    It was an amazing tour, a lot better than I could have ever expected. The food was amazing everyday by the chef (Raúl) and his assistant (Raúl) which were very friendly. The horseman (Wilbert) was also a great guy and the tents were up everyday before we arrived. But the main man of the trip…

    We made it!

    It was everything I hoped it would be!. Challenging, inspirational and beautiful. I pushed myself as far as I could go but I never could have done it without our guide, Rony, and team (five porters and our cook) supporting me and the rest of our group. They worked the hardest, went the longest, and…

My favorite place overall was the cloud mountain.…
