Cerro Chato [Closed]

I have done this hike several times, and I recommend everyone to take lots of water and snacks since it is normally more humid than the average person is used to. You are inclining a lot, but all types of people are able to complete the hike as long as they are prepared and take their time. I recommend starting early, like at 6am since the sun can be super strong as the first hour you are exposed to the elements. The trail is not very well maintained and descending into the crater to see the lagoon is in horrible condition. Be prepared for mud and the need to use your hands.
