Great tour! Most of the time it's an easy walk on solid paths. Few times you have to climb stairs to get to the next section. The weather up there is very different from the coast. Definitely dress warm enough, the hike starts a peak where it's quite cold (6°C in our case), bring good shoes and a rain jacket. When we were done we walked some 11km, saw the water falls, flora and fauna. The guide did a great job in telling us about the ecosystem and the history of the area.
