Thoroughly enjoyed Freddys love of all things Ecuadorian. He is a passionate man who will do the correct things uninfluenced by the US$$ Thanks Freddy for such a wonderful time. Carihuirazo - an excellent experience. I arrived to Ecuador with an old friend to climb mountains, After meeting with Freddy and expending the first two days with him and Ivan I soon realized than there was much more to the country than the mountains. I became unwell, weak, it was nobody's fault and I was unable to climb Cotopaxi. Freddy and Ivan looked after me and few days later I climbed Carihuirazo (5000m) an excellent experience under the very careful and experienced Ivan. We have enjoyed a fantastic insight into wonderful and friendly people. Freddy and his team have been truly supportive, their professionalism have made this an unforgettable adventure. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and their Hotel. Many thanks for your assistance and support! Patrice Martin, Toronto, Canada. Unforgettable experience I came to Ecuador with no particular reservations. Following recommendations of Lonely Planet I went to 4 or 5 local Agencies. I was fortunate enough to met Freddy and Sierra Nevada to discuss alternatives. I liked Freddy’s attitude towards the trekking. He has a lot of experience and he is very professional all the staff was friendly and efficient, The five days Condor Paxi Trek was an unforgettable experience. Results 6 - 10 of 18
