A very good experience overall. Especially the 4x4 climb to 2,800 meters and the chance to see the craters. Those who want to do it should be advised to bring warm clothing, preferably waterproof, as outside of summer, temperatures often drop significantly and it can rain or sleet.

Muy buena experiencia en general. Especialmente la subida en 4x4 a los 2800 metros y la posibilidad de ver los cráteres. Una ayuda los que lo quieran hacer, avisar en la recomendación, que lleven ropa abrigada y en lo posible impermeable, dado que, fuera del verano, es habitual que baje mucho la temperatura y pueda llover o caer agua nieve .

Très belle excursion ! La roche volcanique, la neige, la végétation, tout y est ! Mention spéciale pour notre chauffeur que nous avons applaudis à la fin. La route était difficile mais nous sommes revenus sains et saufs ! Translate this opinion into English.

A wonderful excursion! The volcanic rock, the snow, the vegetation—it's all there! A special mention for our driver, whom we applauded at the end. The road was difficult, but we made it back safe and sound! Opinion translated. Show original.

I bought it especially because it was 6 hours long, I had seen other 8 hour ones. It turned out that it had a lunch stop, which I didn't see in any description, and in the end, it was almost 8 hours. 7.30 hours in total. The guide was very good. The driver was excellent.
