Alpinismo, Cayambe, Ecuador, curso introductorio de 6 días

Jaime is the man. It was an amazing journey. Right from the start to the end, he helped us with everything, guiding in what we should bring, how to approach each mountain and prepare. Shout out to Elisabeth, who was amazing with the planning, always ready with answers to our queries and very efficient and organized. The team made it possible and very easy for us to experience Cotopaxi and Quito

I spent an almost 3 week long holiday with Andean Summit Adventure in Ecuador this November and can totally recommend this agency. As a guest you feel really welcome and our guide Jaime was very experienced, professional and friendly. We climbed some mountains off the beaten track and it was a lot of fun! The organization was perfect as well, both for mountain days as well as for the rest days (hot springs, mitad del mundo and so on)

We summited Cotopaxi with Jamie as our guide. It was an unbelievable and perfect experience. Jamie was very knowledgeable, skilled, and personable. He shared just enough information with us for each part of the trip for us to be prepared but not too overwhelmed. It was very easy to communicate with our guide and the company before the trip. The food was really nice and the whole experience staying at the refuge and meeting other climbers and guides. We were very confident in Jamie’s skills and ability to keep us safe. His saying “never give up!” was very motivating for our successful summit. The gear was all very nice and up to date, we were given every tool we needed. I felt every emotion during this day from excitement, to fear, to fatigue, to gratitude, I cried very much at the summit because it was so beautiful and it was such a big accomplishment for myself and my husband. Overall this experience was our favorite for our time in Ecuador and even one of my favorites of my whole life! Highly recommend Jamie and Andean summit adventure. Worth every dollar as an investment for an experience of a lifetime!

Thanks to Elisabeth, the experience before climb was already great - she provided guidance and all answers right away, even being in different timezone! Jaime was our guide and he is exceptionally skilled guide, with tons of experience, but also we did many great talks about different things! Can't recommend this guides highly enough!
