The level of difficulty for trails is always subjective, as it depends on each participant’s experience and physical condition. However, in general terms, and considering the activities included in this itinerary, the trail rating on a scale from 1 to 5 is as follows:*

• Recommended for participants who exercise regularly and have prior experience with hiking.
  Physical intensity level: 5
  Technical difficulty level: 2
• Moderate for experienced hikers.
• Challenging for sedentary participants.

The Tour Guide may adjust the itinerary whenever group safety is at risk, due to unforeseen circumstances or force majeure.

In case of withdrawal, itinerary changes, or early return not aligned with the group, any extra costs will be the responsibility of the participant.
