I read every review online and then climbed Isabel de Torres
Isabel de Torres Trail的点评
点评：Was interested in climbing the trail to the top of the mountain and read everything I could find on the topic from others who had been. That helped to prepare me somewhat. Here's my full story in case it helps others!
Approximate timeline:
7:30am departed cruise ship, decided to walk to Teleferico instead of getting a cab. I'm cheap and it was a good warmup after being cooped up on the ship. It was 1.5 miles one way.
8:15am arrived at Teleferico station. Asked where the trailhead was. Everyone kept telling me it was "peligroso" (dangerous) but I'm a very fit trail runner and wanted to ascend myself. Finally I broke down and paid $50 for a guide.
Note: The trailhead can't be accessed from the Teleferico parking lot like I thought (or at least nobody would tell me... I had no signal to check my GPS and I couldn't even talk someone into simply showing me the trailhead for $10. I have passable Spanish but it was still a no go. I told the guide they got paid at the summit, not at the start.
My guide spoke about 20 words of English. The other guides at the base seemed to have better English but they also told me that they wouldn't take me up for less than $80. I only brought enough $ for the cable car ride and the $50 bill so I told him I honestly didn't have anything else. Not even a credit card.
8:45 am start climbing. Rocky trail. Can't get GPS on my watch to connect to track it. Phone has no signal so feeling very reliant on guide at this point.
9:00 guide breaks off the path and we go straight through the brush for 25-30 minutes. I'm wondering what's up when we finally emerge back on the trail. "shortcut?" It would have been impassable for most people--climbing up/down ravines, using trees to pull up steep areas, etc. Not sure what that was about.
9:25 Phone starts pinging like crazy because I apparently got high enough for signal to connect.
930 back on marked trail with red/orange blazes. Steady climb.
10:10 hit the road portion, the last and steepest part of the climb. See photo. It's serious.
10:30 finish at the summit. Lots of pictures of scenery, flowers, statue, and cave right before a fog bank rolled in.
10:45 hitch a ride in the cable car to the bottom station. Pay for my one-way trip upon arrival ($5).
11:00 walk back to the ship.
11:30 back on board.
I would definitely do it again, but if my wife had come along like we originally planned, we could not have taken the "shortcut" through the jungle.
Was the guide necessary? I could have probably followed the trail 90% solo without a guide, but there were areas where it got hard to follow or wasn't marked very well. I was concerned about getting lost, even briefly, and not being able to get back to the port before ship departure.
Good shoes are a must.
I brought a drawstring bag with 16oz water and hydrated well before leaving ship. Morning is cooler.
Hat and sunglasses.
Pants--never would have went off trail without them and just smart when in the jungle.

翻译：我对沿着小路爬到山顶很感兴趣，并阅读了我能从其他去过山顶的人那里找到的有关该主题的所有内容。这帮助我做好了一些准备。这是我的完整故事，希望对其他人有帮助！
大概的时间表：
7:30 AM 游轮出发，决定步行前往 Teleferico，而不是乘坐出租车。我很便宜，而且在被关在船上之后这是一次很好的热身。单程 1.5 英里。
8点15分抵达Teleferico车站。询问起点在哪里。每个人都一直告诉我这是“peligroso”（危险），但我是一名非常健康的越野跑者，并且想自己攀登。最后我崩溃了，花了 50 美元请了一位导游。
注意：像我想象的那样，无法从 Teleferico 停车场进入步道起点（或者至少没有人会告诉我...我没有信号来检查我的 GPS，我什至无法说服别人简单地向我展示步道起点10 美元。我的西班牙语还过得去，但还是不行。我告诉导游他们在山顶时得到报酬，而不是在开始时得到报酬。
我的导游会说大约 20 个英语单词。基地的其他导游似乎英语更好，但他们也告诉我，低于 80 美元他们不会带我上去。我只带了足够乘坐缆车的美元和 50 美元的钞票，所以我告诉他我真的没有别的东西了。连信用卡都没有。
早上8点45分开始登山。岩石小道。我的手表无法连接 GPS 来追踪它。电话没有信号，所以此时感觉非常依赖指南。
9:00 导游中断道路，我们直接穿过灌木丛，行程 25-30 分钟。我想知道当我们最终回到路上时会发生什么。 “捷径？”对于大多数人来说，这是无法通过的——爬上/爬下峡谷，用树木拉上陡峭的区域，等等。不知道那是什么。
9:25 电话开始疯狂地响，因为我的信号强度显然足够高，可以连接。
930 回到带有红色/橙色火焰的标记路径。稳步攀登。
10:10 到达公路部分，这是爬坡的最后也是最陡的部分。看照片。情况很严重。
10点30分到达山顶。大量的风景、花朵、雕像和洞穴的照片就在雾气袭来之前。
10：45搭缆车到底站。抵达后支付单程费用（5 美元）。
11：00步行回船上。
11点30分回到船上。
我肯定会再这样做，但如果我的妻子按照我们最初计划的那样来，我们就不可能走“捷径”穿过丛林。
指南有必要吗？如果没有向导，我本可以 90% 独自沿着这条小路走，但有些地方很难走，或者没有很好地标记。我担心迷路，即使是短暂的迷路，也担心无法在船出发前回到港口。
好的鞋子是必须的。
我带了一个抽绳袋，里面装有 16 盎司的水，并在离船前充分补充水分。早上比较凉爽。
帽子和太阳镜。
裤子——没有它们就永远不会偏离轨道，而且在丛林中时也很漂亮。
