    Climbing to the summit of Rucu Pichincha is not easy or for the faint of heart, but the team was prompt and prepared, and my guide, Sebas, was friendly, informative, helpful, and patient. This made for a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it!

    Great alternate day

    Adrès was great, I was solo with him and we got along fantastic. The cable cars to Rucu ended up being closed for maintenance on our tour date, so offered to hike the Puluahua Crater & the visit Inti Equator Museum instead. It was a decent alternative. We also went and got great Civiche on the way home. Super cool guy was professional and had a great day. He was booked other days and I really wish I could have made it up to Rucu which looks epic

    We had to adapt and change plans a little for circumstances and weather beyond our control. Andres did a fantastic job of figuring out a new game plan and making it a great experience.
