Here you’ll watch condors soaring majestically on thermals rising from the depths below.

Heat, humidity and rough roads can be tiring.

Top Tips

Try drinking a cup of coca tea to help you adjust to the altitude and remember to pack some headache tablets. Glucose tablets are great for an energy boost. Just in case your main luggage goes missing en route, It’s a good idea to wear your walking boots on the plane. Everything else is replaceable but a pair of comfortable, well worn-in boots are not.
