      TravelerWritten June 2024

      I've done day hikes and am in good shape…I walk an average of 5 to 6 miles a day…..what type of equipment would I need? Is the other tour your recommended a hiking tour?

    • BikeInTimeOperatorWritten June 2024

      You need just regular mountain hiking equipment, no climbing equipment or additional gear. The maximum altitude is 2,500m. The other tour is also hiking, at a lower altitude.
