Itinerary description

A great walk mostly through the jungle to the peak. It is strenous though not technical or difficult and anyone in decent shape should be able to complete it. Bring at least 2L of water (preferably more) with snacks, mosquito repellent and sunscreen are also recommended. It's best to go with shoes though it is possible to complete in slippers.

Going up and down takes about 3 hours, though you should give yourself another hour as a safety cushion. So the latest you should start would be 4 hours before sunset
