If you are a regular trekker, you will have no problem walking the paths alone, with the help of a map and signs. Do not forget non-slip shoes, hat and water.
If you prefer, I can organize a visit with a trekking guide, who will also give you a lot of information, tell you curiosities about the area and answer your questions.
I can also help you organize your transport, giving you directions for driving, information on public transport or booking a private transfer.
