Run trip from: 30/10 -- 14/11 05

Hello Ramiro ~

I am back home safe and sound with just my memories and photos of Ecuador to remind me of such a wonderful trip!

Thank you so much for all your help, information, time, energy and arrangements that made my visit so great. Of course as I told you, Wilson by far the best guide I have ever had and went out of his way with his concern for my well being and safety. He also has such an unbelievable knowledge of the country in both it's history and land I feel like I had a climbing and history tour all in one! He really is quite amazing and or course his English is wonderful which is always nice considering how little Spanish I know.

Thanks also to both you and Ramiro for treating me to dinner while I was in Quito, that was a wonderful mean and even better company!
Take care, I'll definitely refer others to you as I did during my time there when I met anyone who was interested in climbing or the Amazon.

Thank you again, bye, Mary

Hello! I just returned from three weeks in Ecuador and found your book: Lonely Planet Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands very helpful. I would like to recommend the locally owned and operated company I used for my two weeks of climbing volcanoes: Ecuadorian Alpine Institute.

They are very attentive to every detail of trip planning, arrangements, guiding, equipment, food and travel. Their guides are top rated and very safety oriented. I saw made different guides during the five mountain climbing experience and I can attest to this company's operations being far superior to anyone else I saw.

I would hope you would consider listing them in a future updated publication of your book. Please feel free to contact me if you want more glowing recommendations of Ecuadorian Alpine Institute!

Thank you, Mary

Hi Ramiro,
Hello from Southern California. I would like to thank you for an incredible climbing experience in Ecuador. This was the first time I have hired a guide in 15 years of climbing. I have always only climbed with people I know very well and trust with my life. Our guide Freddy earned my respect and trust the first day, his professionalism and attention to safety was paramount to none. I eventually did suffer from AMS and Freddy didn't leave my side. Again thanks for a life changing trip and I hope to see you next year for Cotopaxi better prepared.

Sincerely,
Jay Westminster Ca.

Run trip from 12 of February to 17 of February 2007 - 3 SUMMITS ALONG THE AVENUE OF VOLCANOES

Hi Ramiro
Many thanks to all at EAI who made my trip so successful. Seeing you in the office made my realise all the work that goes in beforehand particulary to get all the food sorted out.

Everything about my trip was successful :- Speaking with Ramirez in the beginning All the answers from you All the drivers who got me from one place to another and finally I would particularly like to comment how how well I enjoyed Freddy as my guide - he has to be one of the best. There is one characteristic of Freddy that I need to tell you about and I have attched photos as evidence - he tends to lie down on the job. The first photo is on the top of - Guagua Pichincha and the second on Iliniza Norte The third photo was taken on our safe return from Iliniza Norte - please let Freddy have this one.

Thanks
Andrew
