    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten March 2024

      1)Yes It includes the same hotel every night. 2)Yes we can include a visit to a Volcano, if you are an experienced Hiker we can go to Sairecabur which is 6000 mts over sea level and includes a 3-4 hrs ascension with a high difficulty level. Another Option is Cerro Toco which doesn't require much experience, the difficulty level is medium with 2-3 hrs ascension and the altitude you reach is 5600 over Sea level. 3)July is one of the coldest months so you need the appropriate gear including a nice jacket, pants, and trekking shoes.

      Bruce

      TravelerWritten March 2024

      I think we can rule out the volcano. I am going with my 16year old niece. In not in a great shape to climb for 2-3 hours… I would keep as it is. It sounds good so far. But I still have to check with her and her parents.

      Bruce

      TravelerWritten May 2024

      I am sorry to inform that for now I will put this trip on hold. My niece did not want to come with me. I will surely take this trip at some other time.
