"My adventure on Aconcagua was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I couldn’t have done it without Ricardo Peña. The trip was extremely well organized, from the moment we met at the airport in Santiago to our last night in Mendoza. Ricardo is awesome – knowledgeable and attentive but respectful of whatever skill set each client brings to the group – without compromising safety. The services at base camp were fantastic…excellent meals and live guitar music [by Ricardo!] at 14,340 feet! This expedition surpassed my expectations in every way."
-Christine Mellon, USA

"Ricardo Peña, is a very experienced, competent and knowledgeable guide, and he works extremely hard to ensure that everyone is safe, healthy, and getting the most out of the trip as possible."
-Jennie Erikson, USA

"Impossible to express in words so many emotions shared in the Andes; this was for sure, one of the most spectacular weeks in my life.”
-Patricio Strauss, Argentina
