It is about a Trek without notable technical difficulty. It is necessary to be in a good physical condition and to be able to gwalk for 5 to 6 hours each day, with a quiet rhythm. There is always a light back bag where you can take the minimum (gourd, food of race, camera...) All the luggage and food are transported by the mules.If a medical problem (distortion for example)is to happen, it is always possible to call upon a mule. However, it should be known that the ground is not flat, that it is necessary sometimes to go up to climb a pass and that you will find certain stages a little long... In short, you will  certainly have physical feelings;so, it is necessary to have the desire and the spirit of hiking and walking.
