Is this trip right for you?
This is a hiking trip, so a good level of fitness is essential. Expect long days (up to 8-9 hours) and hikes of up to 18 kms a day, with over 1700 m of elevation gain. Be prepared for remote mountain regions and unpredictable weather.
Some hikes are point-to-point with no shortcuts, or possibility to turn back. Review the descriptions carefully to ensure you’re comfortable with the time, distance and terrain.
Pack lightly as you’ll need to carry your own bag. Although you won’t walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), aim to keep it under 15 kg / 33 lb. Bringing a soft duffel bag or a backpack is essential as on certain hikes we will use mules to transport it to our next overnight stop. You’ll also need a daypack/small bag for water and personal items during daytrips.
