A great contrast activity to our days in the city. The hike was not easy but we went at a pace that meant we could all keep up. Beautiful scenery, stunning mountains. Jaime is a great guide, really friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend

The hike up the Sierra Nevada was truly breathtaking! The guide, Jaime, was fantastic and made sure we were well prepared with walking poles, gloves, fleece etc. He is also a fantastic person, very friendly and willing to share his experience and expert knowledge of these incredible mountains. Don't be afraid to ask questions, he is happy to answer. I learnt so much from him. His dog Kye, is the star of the show! Ensure you bring sunglasses, hat, sun cream - it is not to be underestimated how exposed you are to the sun, and depending on the day, also the wind. Take some water and snacks for energy, at the return location, there is time for food and drinks if you want. Thank you Jaime!

Great hike with Jaime, his dog, and fellow travelers. It was steep and long but well worth the effort!

We had an increíble experience with Jaime showing us the most astonishing landscape in Sierra Nevada mountains. Just walk, breathe and smell the pure air was relaxing and refreshing from the routine life. GREAT in all senses.

Wonderful hikig experience. We really enjoyed the day. It is not difficult, the wiews are impressive and the guide is kind and helpful, he knows the area so well and is always willing to explain anything and adapt the pace to the different people there. His dog, Kai, is a essential part of the tour, always taking care of everyone, like the best shepherd!
