Itinerary description

|
Show original
We left the cabin until the Luxmore peak, before we tried to enter the Luxmore cave but we could not, it is very difficult and dangerous, it slides a lot. From the peak there are impressive views and many many Kea, which are hanging on our boots because they love rubber. We start walking through the mountain ridge, an impressive tour with incredible views of the lake, and snowy mountains.
We begin to descend 1000 meters in a continuous zig-zag until we reach Iris Burn, which is not seen until the last moment and has a very small kitchen room in proportion to so much bed.
