If you are not an experienced climbed I cannot recommend you to do the visit, since it can be tiring and in some parts the climbing may require a bit of skill or preparation. In fact, nowadays it is not allowed to individuals to do the climbing in their own, you need to be accompanied by one guide for every 10 people. And it is due to some accidents that happened before, causing the death a few climbers.

The nature that can be observed in this mountain pays itself the trip: some of the largest butterflies in the world, beautiful colored spiders, frogs, massive tropical trees, exquisite tropical flowers... be sure to bring the camera fully charged with you.
