I was invited on this missionary trip by a fellow coach. It was a total of 16 coaches who embarked on this journey.

Hiking Pico Duarte with BLUE Missions was one the most incredible and rewarding things I have ever experienced. The trip was spent among great friends, with beautiful views and inspiring meditations. The trip was equal parts challenging and fun with a lot of moments for self-reflection and meditation. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for an inspiring experience made better by great company and a great purpose.

The trek is a lot of fun and an awesome challenge. The views are amazing and nothing beats the feeling of getting to the very top! The food was the best surprise - initially thinking it couldn't possibly be that good or filling. It was both. Still, make sure to pack snacks for yourself. Overall it is a great experience to do with friends as well as to meet new people on a fun adventure.
