Customer Reviews
A really enjoyable hike of moderate difficulty, with beautiful scenery. Finding parking is quite a challenge, navigating the charming backstreets. Allow 2.5-3 hours. Lots of sunshine and therefore very hot. We had a great time.
An easy to manage hike, mostly linear. Interesting to see the diversity of the flora and fauna. Better to arrive as early as possible because of the heat. The protective helmet isn’t too nice to wear for the whole hike, but I understand the need and the relevance. Definitely book in advance because of the limited entry and time sloths.
We loved it! Wanted to do something different for my 50th birthday. So decided to go hiking. Beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. The walk to the entrance is very steep so be prepared! The hike itself is not too bad, for beginners might be a bit strenuous but manageable. Just take it easy. Take plenty to drink and some chocolate to keep up the energy. In total 6.5 km up and down.
