“Inolvidable. Puntuales y muy organizados. Deben prepararse bien para la altura, son más de 5,000 msnm/ 17,900 pies de altura. Recomiendo subir a caballo porque el tiempo apenas alcanza para disfrutarlo si subes todo recorrido a pie. Ver un glaciar es algo inolvidable.”
Pick a ruin, a ridge, a river or a table.
