Lobuje Peak Climbing – 20 Days…of blitzing adventure…

Lobuje Peak Climbing, one of the uppermost trekking peaks in Nepal. Lobuje peak is also spelt as Lobuche, & has two disparate summits, Lobuje East [6,119 m] and Lobuje West [6,145 m]…Lobuje peak dares all to master its summit…the going is demanding and surely tests your physical & mental abilities, but doing this peak is worth its weight in gold…

Lobuje Peak Climbing is a daredevil climbing expedition which offers an assortment of triangle rocky east face rises above the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to a towering icy skyline. The skyline makes up the South Ridge, the junction of the East Face with the glaciated route of ascent. This then leads to the summit ridge running north-west from the top of the east face through a chain of small summits to the East Peak…and then its all guts and glory to its summit…

Lobuje Peak Climbing, our grading standards for the climb follows a ‘TD’ pattern which means “Technical Difficule” as per French and Swiss Alpine Climbing Systems very well known world-wide on this kind of day climb; despite the technical difficulties we can reach its summit with determination & zeal that comes only with such adventure. Your trip is planned to detail with much acclimatization and practice before the big haul to the top of Lobuje Peak Climbing.

Nepal Base Camp Treks gives you veteran guides who have done this peak on several occasions & are familiar with high altitude mountain climbing expeditions. They simply love their jobs & have showed it over the years with a number of expeditions.

We set out on our great adventure of Lobuje Peak with a fantastic brief flight to Lukla airport/village and then begin our trek into beautiful Sherpa country of farmlands and vibrant friendly villages as we visit interesting monasteries to reach famous Namche Bazaar and the historical Thyangboche monastery with impressive views of Everest-Amadablam and a whole myriad of peaks. Our hiking heads into areas above the tree-lines full of moraine and glaciers at Everest base camp with mesmerising views of Khumbu Ice Falls and giant peaks; after an enjoyable time we make a beeline towards our main objectives and goal by ascending Lobuje Peak Climbing and trekking in himalaya.

After a well organized, safe and successful climb with the energetic support of a capable team of expert guides & porters, we head back at Lukla for short lovely flight to Kathmandu on completing a journey that will live in our memories for a long time to come. Please feel free to contact us about more trekking information at: info@nepalbasecamptreks.com – we’d be glad to help you.

Grade: Strenuous – Peak climbing…its not impossible, but this is a climb that truly needs grit & mental strength…& summiting stirs your emotions to the bone…

Trip Introduction

On 16 days Everest Base Camp Trek we experience the astounding iconic mountain views including Mount Everest and the glimpses of the life of the world famous Sherpa people (the climbers) after entering Sagarmatha National Park,a highest world heritage tour site of high altitude Himalayan Buddhist monasteries before accomplishing our unleash goal-reaching Everest Base Camp of the world’s tallest peak ,Everest. Trip to the popular Everest Base Camp also provides us the lifetime opportunity to embark on an epic journey that Tenzing Norgay and Sir Edmund Hillary set off to in 1953.

Our 16 days itinerary of Everest Base Camp Trek is designed for those trekkers who are in good physical shape with good health. Some time if you wish to take much challenge and trek off the beaten trail, then Everest Base Camp Trek to Gokyo Lake valley via alternative Chola Pass would be ideal. Another option for trekkers with limit experienced time would be 14 day Everest Base Camp.

We will be staying at Hotel International Guest House,a 3-star hotel in Kathmandu; and teahouses during the trek. All accommodations are on twin-shared basis during the trek. Twin sharing or Single supplement will be served in Kahmandu.

Nepal Base Camp Treks will arrange rooms with attached washrooms; however, teahouses in some places only have shared washing and toilet facilities. Also note that single rooms are readily available in Kathmandu and the trekking regions at lower elevation but it might be difficult to find them at higher elevations.

  • Meals
  • All menu selected meals will be provided during trekking while only breakfast will be available in Kathmandu. There will also be welcome dinner with typical cuisine and Menu selected farewell dinners. While on trek, we have breakfast and dinner in the same tea-houses/lodges we spend the night and lunch on our way to the next destination. Nepalese, Tibetan, the more common continental and Indian cuisines are common choices in the menu.
  • Physical Condition & Experience Requirements
  • 16 days Everest Base Camp Trek is a moderate for those travelers who can walk up to 6-7 hours (10-15km) a day on an uphill and downhill trail will find this trek fulfilling. It is best that we prepare ourselves for the Everest trek by morning jogging and 1 hours exercising regularly at least a month prior to the start of the trek. Trekking to the Everest Base Camp should be relatively easier for those who have experience walking/trekking in a high altitude environment. Past hiking experience would be an asset but no technical skill is required for this trip. It is also important that we consult our doctor. Participants with pre-existing medical conditions such as heart, lung, and blood diseases should inform Himalayan Glacier before booking the trek.
  • Best Time to Travel to Everest Base Camp Trek
  • The best time to trek to the Everest Base Camp is spring (March to May) and autumn (October to first week of December). The temperature is moderate in these seasons and guarantees amazing panorama views through the trip. Although this trek can be undertaken during winter, the cold temperature might not be suitable for everyone.

MANUAL NOTE

This itinerary is only a guideline pattern which we can offer; this is a potentially difficult climb under rigid conditions that will test your patience to the limits; a trekking tour of this type is prone to unpredictable calamities related to mountain weather, local politics, and transportation etc, which will be beyond Nepal Base Camp Trek’s control in the event of any unseen circumstances which may occur and as a result, this may require a change in your itinerary. However, it is very unlikely that such circumstances may occur but our effort is to minimize its effect, and Nepal Nomad will not be responsible for any situation developing in delays or changes to your program. In the event of any changes, your senior guide will make the final decision after consulting with the group.

Details Itinerary of Lobuje Peak Climbing

Day 01: Kathmandu – 1360m – your arrival in Nepal

You arrive in Kathmandu and our representative will be on standby with our office vehicle to transfer you to your hotel. A pre-trek briefing will be scheduled to discuss the trekking program and co-ordinate any last-minute arrangements. Your can refresh your self, go for a walk down the street to get familiar with your surroundings before preparing for a tasty dinner of a local Nepalese cuisine which you will truly enjoy accompanied by a cultural dance performed by the local belles. Your first overnight in the city of temples, probably the most in the world
Meals included: 1 welcome dinner

Day 02: Sightseeing in Kathmandu.

Ancient Kathmandu is famous for its heritage sites & is the cultural nerve center of Nepal. This old city was once an international hub for the hippie generation of the ‘70s & is still a well known destination for tourists ever since Nepal opened its doors to visitors. The city is a literal mixing bowl of Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism and Western influence in the Valley. Patan and Bhaktapur, its two major neighboring cities bear vast historical, cultural and religious significance. There will be a half day guided tour to the famous and biggest Hindu shrine of Pashupatinath, the largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal Boudhanath, the 15th century palace of 55 windows and Swoyambhunath.

At eventide, you will be briefed about your trip. Overnight in the city of cows & temples

Meals included: 1 breakfast

Day 03: Kathmandu – Lukla – Phakding 2652m, 3 hours trekking

After an early morning b/fast, we take the super flight from Kathmandu to Lukla at 2827m. Flight time is about 35 minutes to the airstrip built by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpas in the mid-1960s. After landing we will have time to explore the village while the Sherpa crew sort out and load the trekking equipment. In the afternoon, we begin the trek by descending towards the Dudh Kosi River, where we join the main trail to Namche Bazaar, just above Chaurikharka at 2713m. The walking is easy and after passing through the small village of Ghat at 2550m, it’s a short walk to Phakding where we’ll stay overnight.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner with tea/coffee

Day 04: Phakding – Monjo 2835m, 3 hours trekking

From Phakding, we cross the river and head up valley where we’ll see porters from the south ferrying supplies to Namche. The trail keeps close to the river valley and is lined with beautiful blue pine and rhododendron forest that is quite spectacular in the months of spring when the flowers are in full bloom. We cross the Dudh Kosi at Benkar where there are tantalising glimpses of the snow peaks Kusum Kanguru (6369m) and Thamserku (6623m). From here it is only a short walk to Monjo (2835m) where we arrive in time for lunch. We spend the night in Monjo with the afternoon free to do some exploring around the village. The day has been deliberately kept short to aid acclimatization, a very important process.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 05: Monjo – Namche Bazaar 3446m, 4 hours trekking

Today the walking is a little tougher and includes the steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. From Monjo, it is a short walk to the entrance of the National Park before we cross the Dudh Kosi to Jorsale at 2805m. The trek continues upstream on generally flat terrain, crossing back to the right bank, to the confluence of the Bhote Kosi and Dudh Kosi rivers. It is here that we start the steep ascent to Namche Bazaar. After crossing a large and stable suspension bridge high above the river we slowly ascend at a steady pace towards Namche. There are some fantastic photographic opportunities as the peaks of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam and Taweche (6542m) come into view for the first time. After arriving in Namche, we’ll have lunch and the afternoon is free to bargain in the shops for ‘Tibetan’ artifacts, or relax and marvel at the beautiful scenery.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 06: Namche Bazaar and a free day to explore around

We remain at Namche for a second night to allow for proper acclimatization to the altitude. Namche is a prosperous village, situated in a large protected hollow. It gained its importance during the period when Tibetan salt was traded for the lowland grains of Nepal. Today a limited amount of trade exists at Namche and Tibetans are often seen in the village trading rugs and Chinese-made goods, clothing, salt and dried meat.

It is recommended that you take the opportunity to see both the sunrise and sunset views from the National Park Headquarters above the village. The view is stunning and offers a superb panorama of the Khumbu peaks with great views of Everest. After breakfast, there are a number of options: perhaps a walk towards Thami (3810m) above the beautiful Bhote Khola river valley, or a visit to the National Park Headquarters to see the interesting displays of Sherpa lifestyle and culture. There is also a mountaineering display and details of the park’s flora and fauna. Your guides will be on hand to offer advice and escort you on your walks.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 07: Namche Bazaar – Phortse 3850m, 4 hours trekking

The trail contours around Khumbilya’s lower slopes, passing through beautiful birch forest and on to treeless, grassy slopes to a stupa-3992m on top of a rocky ridge at Mongla. Once again the views of the mountains are magnificent. Phortse can be seen across the valley, a picturesque village set in a patchwork of stone-walled fields. From the stupa you descend on a series of switchback trails to the Dudh Kosi River, 300 meters below, at Phortse Bridge & cross the Dudh Kosi and ascend to the village of Phortse for overnight.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner.

Day 08: Phortse – Dingboche 4084m, Trekking 3 hours

From Phortse, we ascend through high ridge Imja Khola. Along the way keep an eye open for Blood and Danphe Pheasant, Musk Deer and, high on the steep slopes of the valley, the Himalayan Thar. Gradually ascend & descend to the village of Pangboche where the peak of Ama Dablam dominates the skyline. We will take lunch here and perhaps view the beautiful monastery that once housed the legendary Yeti scalp. In the afternoon our route ascends gradually, high above the Imja Khola, passing the tea houses at Orsho before crossing the Imja Khola and old glacial moraines to our lodge in the settlement of Dingboche.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, and 1 dinner.

Day 09: Dingboche – Chukhung 4780m, 3 hours trekking

From Dingboche we head up through the village, following the Imja Khola valley. The ascent is gradual, crossing small streams, through open alpine pastures with fine views of Island Peak at the head of the valley. We will reach the Chukhung lodge in time for lunch, with the afternoon free to rest and acclimatize. If you feel energetic enough, you can head up valley towards the old moraines that flow down from Lhotse. The views of the massive Lhotse Wall and Ama Dablam are particularly impressive.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 10: Chukhung – Lobuche 4930m, 5 – 6 hours trekking

In the morning we ascend the small ridge behind the village above the Pheriche valley. From the chorten at the top, the Taweche and Cholatse (6440m) peaks make for a striking scene as they seem to lean forwards from across the valley in the west. To the north, Lobuje Peak (6119m) and the snowfields of the Cho La dominate the skyline. The walking is now fairly flat on wide-open fields, but do take your time and ensure you are well hydrated. Late in the morning we cross the Khumbu Khola at Dughla (4620m) and have a light lunch at the foot of the huge moraines of the Khumbu Glacier flowing off Everest. In the afternoon there is a solid and quite steep climb on a rocky trail to the top of the moraines. On the crest of the ridge, we pass a line of memorial cairns which were built in memory of the Sherpas and climbers who have died on various Everest expeditions over the last 50 years. From here there are spectacular views of Pumori 7145m, Lingtren 6697m, Khumbutse 6623m, and, across the border in Tibet, Changtse 7550m, can be seen at the head of the valley. Everest is still hidden behind the towering walls of Nuptse and Lhotse. We then follow the valley stream to our lodge at Lobuje. Today is a tiring day but the fantastic scenery makes it all very worthwhile. We arrive in the early afternoon so if you still have some energy and conditions are clear, a walk up onto the large ridge at the rear of the lodge can reward you with even more spectacular views.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 11: Lobuche – Gorak Shep 5160m – Everest Base Camp, 3 hours trekking to Gorak Shep

From Lobuche we follow the broad valley running parallel to the Khumbu glacier. A gradual ascent enables you to build the slow, steady rhythm required when walking at high altitude which makes it easy on the knees. Once we reach the moraines of the Changri Nup Glacier we make a series of small ascents and descents over a rocky trail lined with cairns that leads eventually to the surprising glacial sands of Gorak Shep where we will stay overnight.

We’ll arrive in time for lunch and a quick rest before setting off for Everest Base Camp. The trail can sometimes be difficult to follow so keep an eye on your guides and fellow trekkers on this section. The trek to base camp can be achieved in around three hours. If you are trekking in the popular climbing period of March to May, we’ll almost certainly encounter yaks and porters supplying food and equipment to Everest expeditions. From base camp we do not get views of Everest but we will be able to see the notorious Everest Ice Fall that flows from the Western khumbu. This is regarded as the technically hardest and most dangerous section of the mountain.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 12: Gorak Shep – Lobuche Base Camp 5400m.

Early in the morning we will make a steep ascent to Kala Patar. You will need to start very slowly and try to ascend at a steady rhythmic pace. Our goal, Kala Patar, is the rocky hilltop below Pumori. It is a tough walk due to the altitude but the view from the top is something that only dreams speak of, but this is for real. It will probably take a good hour and a half to reach the summit from Gorak Shep, although lower viewpoints will provide views almost as good. Pumori, Nuptse, Changtse, Ama Dablam, Taweche, Kantega and Everest surround us. About 3 kms away in distance and some 200m below, the area of Everest Base Camp can be seen in a bowl at the bottom of the Khumbu Ice Fall. For many trekkers, reaching Kala Patar is a very emotional experience and it is worthwhile spending as long as you can to savor this special moment. The descent back down to Gorak Shep is easy. From Gorakshep we head down to Lobuche then Leaving Lobuje, the trail leads about four hours to Lobuje Base Camp. Trekking after half way on flat land, you follow steep ascending trail to reach Lobuje Base Camp. The trail is quite rocky and it moves along the bank of Lobuje Glacier. On your way spectacular views of Cholatse, Tawache, Ama Dablam, Pokhalde, Thanserku, Kantega are something to view & enjoy…and yes, take pictures.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 13: Lobuche Base Camp Acclimatization Day.

Today is an acclimatization day at the Base Camp to prepare the necessary equipments checklists and make sure we are ready to reach the summit with an early start tomorrow.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner. Overnight at base camp

Day 14: Climb to the Summit, 5760m, and Return to Base Camp, 5400m

The climb starts with a smooth slab following stone markers on the hard snow. Steep ascending through 60 degree cliff edged ridge which is thin and narrow then we finally reach the 5760m peak.

From the summit amazing views of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Tawache, Cholatse, Pumori, and Changri then after head down to Base Camp where you spend overnight.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 15: Lobuche Base Camp – Pheruche

Leaving Lobuche Base camp, the trail leads towards Pheruche. Descending all the way down to Duglha and further, you finally reach Pheruche after trekking for about six hours. The spellbinding views of Cholatse, Tawache, Ama Dablam, Pokhalde, Thamserku, & Kangtega leave you gasping for breath with the awesome views on display; its then overnight in Lodges from tonight onwards to Lukla.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 16: Pheriche – Tangboche 3875m, Trekking 6 hours

From Lobuche we retrace our steps to Dughla. It seems much quicker and easier going down! From here we take a different route to our ascent, following the wide alpine valley covered in scrub juniper through to the temporary settlement of Phulung Karpo (4343m) and then to Pheriche for the evening. There is also a Trekkers’ Aid Post here, supported by the Himalayan Rescue Association which, although not manned year round, is well worth a visit if open. From Pheriche, we cross the Khumbu Khola and ascend a short steep trail to the top of a small ridge for great views of the Imja valley, Ama Dablam and Kantega. We then descend to the small settlements at Orsho and Shomare, where we have lunch and later pass through Lower Pangboche to reach the suspension bridge over the Imja Khola River and retrace our steps to Debuche and Thyangboche.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 17: Tangboche – Namche Bazaar – Monjo 3440m, Trekking 5 hours

After breakfast we descend steeply through beautiful forests of juniper, rhododendron and fir to Phunkitenga. After a welcome break and perhaps a cup of tea we cross the Dudh Kosi, and ascend to Trashinga. From here the trail contours high above the valley through Shanasa and its then a gradual walk to Namche Bazaar where we have lunch and descend to Monjo for an overnight stay.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 18: Monjo – Lukla 2800m, 3-4 hours trekking…and it’s our last day on these lovely mountains

Today is our last day of trekking. It’s only a short walk along the valley before we make the final climb up to the airstrip at Lukla.

We’ll have lunch at our lodge and the afternoon is free for you to wander around, relax or perhaps have a hot shower! In the evening, we’ll have a farewell celebrity dinner followed by a few celebratory drinks. We taste ‘Chhang’ (famous mountain beer brewed from fermented rice} do some Sherpa dance steps to a jig by following the local crew; we are now real close to these guys who’ve been with us all of these weeks on the great & punishing mountains that have been sweet home to us all of these days. We have some delicious food & snacks & talk about it all, before we crash out for the night and a blissful sleep under starry skies.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch and 1 dinner.

Day 19: Lukla-Katmandu, 35 minute flight

We get up early in the morning, enjoy b/fast and get ready for the arrival of our aircraft for the flight back to Katmandu. We will be met at the airport and transferred to our hotel and a soft warm bed.

Meals included: 1 breakfast, 1 lunch

Day 20: Kathmandu Departure for home sweet home

Today is free to relax until your departure or to commence any additional trips or activities you may have booked. If you are departing, you’ll be transferred to the international airport in time for your return flight home. Meeting you has been a pleasure & at Nepal Base Camp Treks we will value the relationship we built up over the weeks & look forward to meeting you some day again in the future. Adios friends & take care!!!

In October 2014, 2015 I completed another wonderful family trek in Nepal to Langtang and Gosainkund lakes thanks to Sappa and his company “Nepal Base Camp Treks”. I first met Sappa in 2008 on a family Gokyo Lakes Trek and EBC Trek. At that time, I was greatly impressed by the highly professional approach he took to mountain guiding. I’m very happy to report that in 2014 nothing has changed. Sappa continues to maintain an exceptionally high standard of service and this together with his warm, generous and engaging personality ensured everyone in our party had an amazing time during their visit to Nepal.

We were treated to fantastic traditional Nepalese food and cultural performances at welcoming and farewell dinners in Kathmandu; expertly and safely guided over 14 days of trekking through an incredibly beautiful landscape; and provided with detailed and knowledgeable commentary during our tours of all the main sites around Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan. I’m very happy to report that the organisation of our transport, sightseeing, accommodation and trekking arrangements was first rate and that over three weeks everything ran very smoothly indeed. Overall, Sappa‘s vast guiding experience and mountain knowledge ensured that our itinerary was structured in such a way that it provided us with a good deal of flexibility and ample time to absorb the magnificent mountain views while trekking, as well as not being rushed on our tours of Kathmandu and surrounds.

On this trip, a few in our party were first time trekkers. What a fantastic introduction to trekking in the Nepal Himalaya they received thanks to the great care and attention to every little detail provided by Sappa and his fabulous support crew Manoj, Shankar and Suraj. Thank you Sappa,for also keeping up the tradition of supplying us with bananas and chocolate bars. I must also mention that the pomegranate seeds the crew provided to us on our way to Langtang was an unexpected but greatly appreciated treat. Importantly, from a safety aspect, we were more than pleased to find that Nepal Base Camp Treks used modern four wheel drive vehicles to take us to the start of our trek in Syabrubesi and also for the return journey from Dhunche. We were also very impressed to observe that Sappa and his company take very good care of their support crews.

If you are planning to visit Nepal, I have no hesitation in recommending Sappa and his company “Nepal Base Camp Treks” for trouble free trekking and touring. You will not be disappointed. I can’t wait for my next trek with Sappa, which will be around Manaslu trek.

German Language: Wir haben mit Sappa und einem Träger im Mai 2011 eine elftägige Trekking Tour durch die Langtang und Helambu Region gemacht. Wir sind das Langtang Tal von Syrabrubesi bis Kanjin Gompa hoch gewandert und dann über die Gosainkunde Seen, den Laurebina Pass und die Helambu Region nach Kathmandu zurückgekehrt. Der Trek war einfach wundervoll! Er führt durch verschiedene Vegetationszonen mit reicher Flora und Fauna und überwältigenden Aussichten auf die Gipfel des Himalaya. Darüber hinaus bot der Trek einen tiefen Einblick die die Tamang Kultur und das Leben und die Tradition der nepalesischen und tibetanischen Bevölkerung.

Sappa ist ein sehr erfahrener Führer, der die Gegend sehr gut kennt. Er verstand es perfekt, die Länge der täglichen Etappen und die Trekkinggeschwindigkeit auf unsere Wünsche und Bedürfnisse anzupassen und war insbesondere ein guter Ratgeber bei Fragen zur Höhenkrankheit. Sappa hat sich um alle Angelegenheiten mit den Lodges, den örtlichen Behörden, den Taxi- und Busfahrern etc. gekümmert. Er hat alle unsere Fragen zu den verschiedenen Bergketten und -gipfeln zur Länge der Auf- und Abstiege und zu den anderen Details der Gegend bereitwillig und mit großer Begeisterung beantwortet. Es war eine große Freude, ihm bei den Anekdoten aus dem Leben der Nepalesen, der Religion, Politik und Natur zuzuhören. Mit seiner Begeisterung und seinem Humor hat Sappa den Trek zu einem unvergesslichen Erlebnis gemacht. Wir können Sappa als erfahrenen, verständnisvollen und sympathischen Führer uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Nach den elf Tagen in der Einsamkeit des Himalaya ist aus unserem Führer ein Freund geworden.”

Sappa é o cara. Visitei o Nepal em duas ocasiões. Na primeira ele foi meu guia no circuito Annapurna, onde caminhamos por 21 dias. Na segunda ele nos guiou nos treks Langtang, Gosainkunda e Helambu por 17 dias. Alem disso, ele foi nosso guia no trek Cheppang Hills. Como se não bastasse, fizemos também o clássico Base Camp Everest partindo de Jiri e passando por Renjo La e Cho La, em 24 dias com o seu irmão Lako. O Nepal é um pais maravilhoso e a companhia de um guia como Sappa fez toda a diferença, pois ele nos explicou muito sobre a cultura local, religião, situação política/conflitos no pais e como funciona a sociedade no Nepal em geral. Ele fala muito bem inglês, é muito bem humorado e as risadas estão garantidas. Pra resumir, você começa a trilha com um guia e termina com um amigo. Recomendo-o sem hesitar. Se tiver perguntas pode me escrever.
