I was picked up from my hostel at 4:45 in the AM. It was a long drive to the area and the trek was difficult. The drive going to the lake was dangerous since it's like a cliffside and you'll just wish the driver will stop yawning. Breakfast and lunch was ok. Not filling, just bring an extra snack. Our tour guide, Freddy, was very helpful. He was prepared with a portable oxygen tank and gave us a walking stick. He didn't rush us at all. He showed us better pathways to trek to the lake. Highly recommended!
