Gotta say — and I have been on a lot of trips with you and
different guiding companies — this rates as the best ever. The flawless
planning and detail that went into this trip was remarkable. Everything,
including the steak and sausage barbecue that awaited us as we came down
from Illimani base camp, was superb. I cannot thank you and your staff and
guides enough for this truly wonderful experience here in Bolivia... The climbing here is not for the feint of heart, and those two summit ridges were absolutely spectacular. So thanks again from a very happy guy and very satisfied client.
