An unforgettable adventure that pushes you to your limits. For experienced hikers, the climb will be more accessible, but for a first-timer, it remains very challenging, especially if you suffer from asthma. I paid the price, but this experience also allowed me to discover my limits, and the feeling of accomplishment was worth it. The landscapes are simply breathtaking. However, don't neglect your choice of footwear: for this type of hike, it's best to choose one or two sizes larger than your usual size to avoid injuries on the descent. A demanding but magnificent experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. 😍

Superb experience, but be aware that altitude sickness and lack of oxygen are common ailments: a paracetamol (acetaminophen) may help.
