Final Tips from Local Guides
Watch the "Tormentas": Afternoon thunderstorms are violent and lethal on the ridges. Always aim to cross the highest pass of the day before 1:00 PM.
Learn "Refugio" Etiquette: Dinner is served early (usually 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM) and is communal. If you arrive late without calling, you will likely miss the only hot meal for miles.
