Here are some tips to ensure you have a respectful and enriching experience:

  • Is a guide necessary for the route? Although not strictly necessary, it’s recommended to hire a local guide for a more enriching and safe experience, as they are familiar with the terrain, culture, and can explain the history of the places you visit.

  • How long does the journey from San Jerónimo to Waqoto take? The travel time varies depending on road conditions and the type of transport, but it typically takes between 2 to 4 hours.

  • What kind of weather can I expect during the trip? The weather along the route to Waqoto can be variable, with sunny and cold days at high altitudes, and quite cool nights. It’s recommended to bring warm clothing and sun protection.

  • Are there age restrictions for visiting the Waqoto community? Yes, the visit is allowed only for individuals over 8 years old, and they must always be accompanied by parents or guardians. It’s important to consider the altitude and the physical exertion required for the walk.

  • What services are available in the Waqoto community? Waqoto is a rural area, so services are limited. It’s recommended to bring water, snacks, and any other personal provisions you may need during your visit.

  • Can I camp along the route or in the Waqoto community? It may be possible to camp in some nearby areas, but it’s recommended to check with guides or local authorities before doing so. If you plan to camp, bring your own camping gear and ensure you follow local regulations.
