Juan José Cabedo Torres, Madrid, España:

"He subido con bastantes profesionales a la montaña. Unos se asemejan a conductores de turistas y otros son verdaderos guías de montaña que aman su trabajo y que se preparan para facilitar que otras personas cumplan sus sueños. Agradezco que Jaime Vargas sea un auténtico guía de montaña y que busque en cada cima lo mismo que yo: una experiencia que haga crecer su espíritu."

Konrad & Anna, Canada:

"Jaime is a knowledgeable and experienced guide. He is also a great companion in the mountains. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to conquer Andean summits. Guys, keep your better halves close - girls love Jaime!"

Elisabeth, Österreich:

"Iliniza Sur und Cayambe waren unsere Ziele - ungeplanterweise. Nach dem Cotopaxi haben wir wegen der tollen Beratung diese beiden Gipfel in Vorbereitung auf den Chimborzao eingeschoben und es war perfekt. Beides Mal Gipfelsieg, wenn auch mit letzten Kräften und beides Mal alleine am Gipfel. Danke - es hätte nicht schöner oder besser sein können!!!"

Martin, Canada:

"If you're looking for meticulous attention to detail to ensure that your trip is memorable, look no further! Jaime's years of guiding experience and encouraging personality will help you achieve your goals in the mountains. Elisabeth's thorough planning will take care of the rest. This dynamic duo is all you need to make your Andean dreams come true."

Krzysztof, Polska:

"I highly recommend the agency "andean summit adventure" if you're going to Ecuador for climbing peaks of the Andes. I was with Jaime on Cotopaxi on 1.9.2014 and I have no doubt that this is a great guide, able to motivate and encourage, full of professionalism and reliability."

Family Takaoka, Japan:

Andreas, Tirol, Österreich:

"Danke für alles. Hat alles super gepasst, gerne wieder wenn's Richtung Antisana geht. Von Anfang bis zum Ende inklusive Transporte vom und zum Flughafen war alles in Ordnung. Auch den unkomplizierten Programmwechsel fand ich sehr gut. Die Akklimatisationstouren habt ihr vernünftig ausgewählt, sodass der Cayambe zum Schluss kein Problem war. Es gibt eigentlich nix was nicht gepasst hat!"

Genesis Ladinez, Ecuador / United States (August 2016):

"Soy de Guayaquil, Ecuador pero vivo en EEUU. Quería ir a Quito para hacer algunas caminatas y también subir un volcán de mi propio país. Me lancé a buscar en internet y escribí a Elisabeth por suerte de la vida. Ella me ayudó muchísimo con todas mis preguntas sin esperar nada a cambio. Esto me ayudó a decidir qué planear mi viaje con ella era la mejor decisión así que eso hice. Viaje a Quito por una semana, Elisabeth me ayudó con la búsqueda del hotel, itenerario de aclimatación, lista del equipo que necesite comprar, y sobre todo tuvo mucha paciencia. Tuve una gran semana en Quito, culmine todos los lugares que decidí visitar y el hotel también ofrecieron un muy buen servicio. Muchísimas gracias a ti y a tu compañía por todo."

Jake Egan, United States (July 2016):

"My name is Jake Egan and I am from the United States. I summited Illiniza Norte with Jaime Vargas in July of 2016. I had an amazing experience with this incredibly nice and informative man. Jaime picked me up from my hotel in Quito, provided an amazing lunch, and set an awesome pace for me to make it to the summit. I felt extremely safe and comfortable with Jaime throughout my experience, and I really enjoyed getting to learn some more about mountaineering. He was extremely patient with me during our climb and he was always willing to answer any questions. He took excellent photos and sent them to me promptly after our climb. I cannot recommend him enough and I am certain you will not be disappointed."

Baptiste Delattre, Rodez, France (July 2016):

"Une expérience incroyable avec Chico Jaimi et Elisabeth. Une première découverte du monde de la très haute montagne qui me fascine, avec ce couple passionné. Grâce à vous deux, et aux décisions que vous avez su prendre j’ai pu réaliser quelque-chose de grand à mes yeux. Merci beaucoup et à bientôt!"

"Una experiencia increíble con Chico Jaimi y Elisabeth. Un hermoso descubrimiento del mundo de la alta montaña que me fascina, con esta pareja apasionada y profesional. Gracias a los dos, y a las elecciones que tomaron, he cumplido una cosa grande para mí. Muchas gracias, y hasta pronto!"

Ito Hideaki, Japan (January 2017):

"Thank you for your quick and effective response before applying Mt. Chimborazo. Jaime was very friendly and made me comfortable at the refugio. Juan, my guide, has much stamina and enough knowledge for climbing Ecuador. He is also very attractive for his mindset and great interpersonal skills. I recommend him as a guide to who are willing to reach the summit.

This time, I abandoned to climb more at nearly 5,900m because the snow condition was pretty bad. As the snow was heavy like a rain and continued to falling, It made me wet and my foot tired. At the same time when I and Juan determined to climb down, Jaime found the risk of avalanche and so everybody near started to go down. If I can come back to Ecuador, I'd like to ask you and challenge again for Mt. Chimborazo. Also, Mt. Cotopaxi and Mt. Illiniza will be my target."

"Hola chicos: I had a great time climbing in Ecuador, and I hope to return sooner rather than later. Thank you very much for making it all possible."  Picture: Iliniza Sur Climb via Alternative Route - credit: www.jacobpearlstein.com

Margaret, USA (November 2017 - January 2018):

"Rockstar guide service I used: I did all of my climbs with a guide service based out of Banos called Andean Summit Adventure. I compiled a short list of guide services based on excellent Trip Advisor  reviews and reached out to a handful of companies. Elisabeth, the business manager of Andean Summit Adventure was extremely helpful, thoughtful and very quick to respond to a LARGE number of questions from me. I did six summits with them, and a close friend of mine has since done a 21 day climbing itinerary with this company. So, based on our collective experience, I definitely feel justified in giving them my highest recommendation. The owner and head guide, Jaime Vargas, has UIAGM international guiding certification, as well as Ecuadorian mountain guide certification. When it was clear that I had a little experience, Jaime was very eager to take me on several interesting and challenging alternate routes, which made for unforgettable experiences that I likely would not have gotten with other guides. Jaime also clearly cares about giving his clients the best possible days in the mountains. A friend and I planned to climb Antisana with Jaime, but there was a period of unusually heavy snow in this region. In talking to guide friends at the Antisana camp the day before, it was very clear to Jaime that this objective was not possible at the given time (parties were reportedly walking only 60 meters on to the glacier before turning around, as the snow was more than waist deep). While many guides would just say, “too bad, the trip is cancelled due to conditions” Jaime immediately sprung into action to design an alternate adventure. Within an hour he had arranged for us to do a “double- pack” of Iliniza Sur and Iliniza Norte. We were still able to get up in the mountains and enjoy fabulous climbing, including an interesting, technical alternate route on Iliniza Sur. I would recommend Jaime, Elisabeth and their company without hesitation to anyone climbing in Ecuador.
