  • D

    Dennis

    Asked on October 22nd, 2023

    Could you please describe the hikes with a little more detail as to the length and elevation gain? This looks wonderful but want to be sure I can do the hiking.

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten October 2023

      The longest hike on the trip will be around 20km round trip over unpaved trails which is why hiking boots are highly recommended. Other hikes range from 5km to 12km on average. Hiking on this trip is considered moderate and previous hiking experience is recommended.

      Dennis

      TravelerWritten October 2023

      thank you. What about elevation gain? The length and unpaved roads is ok, but depending on the elevation gain would give me an idea of how I might handle this.

    • D

      Dennis

      TravelerWritten October 2023

      What I am trying to find out is during the hike, how many metres/ feet will we climb?

    • ContikiOperatorWritten October 2023

      The highest elevation the group will reach is 1160 m/3.800 feet and the elevation gained is 730 m/2400 feet. Both big hikes included on the tour are similar in elevation gained.
