Sem dúvida, uma baita travessia! Super cansativa em função da altitude, porém com paisagens de tirar o fôlego! Aclimate bem antes de encarar a trilha. Bons equipamentos são extremamente necessários, bem como bom vestuário!
Great to hear someone else has ventured on this trail! Glad you made it safely, the altitude sure is tiring - very important to climatise for a couple of days first
