Traveler reviews
Andres Polanco
★★★★★2 years agoIt was an unforgettable experience. I took it down with my wife and it is something we will never forget. A very beautiful view and a very exhausting journey. I do not recommend it to anyone since there are many risks of falling. It is an extreme hike…
Zemin Hu
★★★★★a year agoThis is truly unique trail. I choosed to walk down instead of waiting long line for cabel car, in the end atually my wife in cable car got to the Harbor later then I did. The view along the road was beautiful, also it's very windy, of course the infamous smell of donkey dung is unavoitable. Well, I still enjoy the hike and did not regret my decision at all:)
