Rafael is the consummate professional!! An absolutely brilliant guide.
He is patient, professional and I felt safe and confident in his presence.
I also gained insights and tips to improve my climbing. Rafael has climbed the highest peaks in the world and imparted his vast knowledge, which was always engaging conversation at meals.
I will actively seek out his expeditions in the future. 
On Cotopaxi and Chimborazo his two colleagues, Pavo and Ivan were also excellent competent climbers, who ensured that we got down safely.5

Rafael Martínez is the most qualified and accomplished guide in Ecuador, I can’t believe I got to climb volcanos with him. Rafael helped me summit Cotopaxi, Pinchicha, and Pasochoa. He prioritized safety and has amazing stories to tell about his summits of Everest, Manaslu, and many more impressive peaks. He is also fun, humble, and a great person. Once in a lifetime experience for me, as a mountaineering rookie being able to top a 5,900+ meter peak is something I’ll always remember.  5

Super trip of a lifetime, I conquered cotopaxi and chimborazo. A lot of hard work but an equally great acclimatization program from Rafael. Super man, with great knowledge on mountain subjects, always helpful and friendly. He was eager to tell us about nature and the towns we were in. Everything was organized very well, the hotels were of very good quality, the food very tasty, and the ascents into the mountains themselves safe under the supervision of a professional who watched over and helped. The organization was of a very high level. Safety always came first. Super people, I would gladly go again. I highly recommend, you can learn a lot from Rafael and experience a great adventure with great people.
