What an adventure!

Theresa Szczerban - USA
What an adventure! Freddy and the Hotel Staff were absolutely wonderful. Very helpful and very accommodating. Freddy was able to help our 12 day trip very last minute allowing us to see as much of Ecuador as possible. Very flexible to work with the Cotopaxi and Pasochoa are beautiful. Quite an accomplishment with Freddy + Christian as our guide. I am thankful for the opportunity to have this experience. Remember: Packing is important - try to plan ahead of time, Travelers checks or cash only! 2 things we forgot that held us up a little. Thank you again for being to accommodating. I want to come back and trek the Rumiñahui. Beautiful! Thank you, Theresa Szczerban theresa.szczerban@us.army.mil t_szczerban@yahoo.com

Mom & I have enjoyed your hospitality

Diane Nicholls - Canada
company & friendship on our recent adventures around Ecuador. Your expertise but mostly your very personal approach made us feel more like friends & family than clients. We have certainly seen and learned more about this beautiful country with your help and great stories. I leave here with a determination to return as I know there is still so much more to see. Muchas Gracias Freddy If you ever make it to Ontario, my house is your house! Your friend, Vanessa Higgott Thornton, Diane Nicholls, Sault st. Marie

Hello Freddy!

Chuck Huss -
I would like to pass along our thanks for your excellent service on our recent trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos. We very much enjoyed our stay at the Sierra Nevada and our excursions to the volcanos and the islands. We hope to repeat the trip sometime in the next few years. Special thanks for schedule in spite of your concerns about our acclimatization. Your concern is understandable and appropriate for most climbers. For some reason the three of us are very tolerant of sudden ascents and have been for many years.   Once again THANKS for your excellent service! All the best,

Señor Ramirez,

Cynthia & Brad -
Thank you for your love and support as we embark upon our life together, and for helping to make our dreams become a reality!   Thank You!  For taking the time to share your Wisdom and expertise with us! Your helpful recommendations on acclimatization, logistics, and climbing provided us with a memorable and successful experience here in the Ecuadorian Andes. If you are ever back in the Sierra Nevada or Yosemite area again, be sure to look up us, we would love to return the favor and share secrets of our home with you. Included is a magnet of El Capitan our most famous mountain. Happy Trails

Lodging, guiding or driving

Chris Pruchnio - USA
Lodging, guiding or driving we used Freddy and Hotel Sierra Nevada for most of our Ecuador logistics. Everyone is professional and very helpful. Even when suggesting places to stay or things to do away from Sierra Nevada. They truly wanted us to enjoy Ecuador first and for most. Ecuador is a wonderful country and its people are very charming and friendly. We will return to Ecuador and Sierra Nevada!

Dear Freddy and Crew,

Frist Jens - Germany
We had a good time with you and in this place. We especially enjoyed trekking with you Freddy and Stalin. It was fantastic for us to discuss with you - Freddy and learn about Ecuador and the things behind. Laughing with you about “Oktoberfest” was wonderful. Hope you’re staying like this

Ecuadorian history and - most of all - fútbol!  Thank you for introducing me to the beauty of Ecuador and the kindness of Ecuadorians.

The two weeks we spent in Quito at the Sierra Nevada were sensational - a lot of the success of our stay due to the kindness you and your staff showed us. The hotel was a real home, and we were so fortunate to see Quito at least partially through you eyes.

¡Viva Ecuador!
