Some hikes will be easy ( soft, packed dirt and pebble paths), while other areas will be challenging , including steep ascents and descents on trails that can become muddy when wet—good fitness is required. For this reason, hiking shoes are mandatory (waterproof hiking boots are strongly recommended), as is a lightweight backpack that can carry at least 1 L of water, snacks and a lightweight, breathable jacket. Check out the itinerary to learn about day-by-day distances. The most you’ll hike within a day is 12 km (7.5 mi), for 5 hours, with 400 m (1,300 ft) of elevation gain.
