The guide Manuel was extremely personable , knowledgable and had a good sence of humor , he is very attentive , informative . He was instrumental in making this a wonderful experience . The food was amazing how much the chef was able to prepare under primitive conditions . The service was a fabolous experience we are so glad we did it and would highly recommend to anyone ! !! . The tents were in good condition as were sleeping mats . The walk was very difficult , but Marco and porters were very helpful and friendly with us .
