The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Once the entire group is assembled, we will start our journey with a 3-hour bus ride to the village of Santa Lucía.

Upon reaching Santa Lucía, we will take a 15-minute detour along a winding road to Punta Carretera, where we will spend approximately 10 minutes preparing for the hike.

Following the guided tour, you will have some free time to explore the area on your own and take photos. Afterward, we will enjoy a delicious box lunch before retracing our steps back to Punta Carretera.

For the tour, it is recommended to bring comfortable hiking shoes, warm clothing layers, a rain jacket, a hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera. Don’t forget to carry some water and snacks for the hike.
