Mountain Guide

Quito, Ecuador

Certificates

ASEGUIM 

UIAGM 

IFMGA 

I am a member of the Ecuadorian Association of Mountain Guides (ASEGUIM) and of the International Association of Mountain Guides (IFMGA). Climbing has always been a passion in my life and becoming a mountain guide was my dream. Now both of them have become real as I work as a mountain guide.

I have climbed since I was a teenager. I was 15 years old when I realized the affinity I had for this profession. I have been in charge of mountains expeditions in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina, succesffully reaching the summits. Although I am young (26 years old), I have a lot of experience. I have guided my clients on big walls with grade 7a + and mountains with TD difficulty.

I love to feel the excitement of being at great heights far from the ground. At the same time, I enjoy exploring hidden places and meeting new friends during these trips. All of these experiences have let me overcome my limits. One of my strengths is knowing the climbing techniques very well and having the ability to transmit to my clients these complex knowledge in a simple and fun way. I am a hardworker, an enthusiastic, positive and patient person.

I am a certified guide with the ability to advise my clients in a personalized way. My job is to adapt the routes and itineraries according to their abilities and level of experience. It is the best way to help them achieve their goals. As a mountain guide, the main objective before reaching the top of the mountain is to minimize the hazards to guarantee their safety. All the expeditions I guided have become enjoyable and unforgettable experiences for my clients.

Juan Carlos was a terrific guide. He was safety-conscious, experienced, knowledgeable of the local crags, responsive to my physical and technical needs, and, on top of all that, a personable and fun individual. He pushed my limits beyond what I expected out of myself. I had a fantastic time, and highly recommend him as a guide 5

Amazing trip and Davo, our guide was simply spectacular. Very knowledgeable and experienced, very helpful leading up to the trip by answering all of our questions. If I was to do this trip or any other mountaineering trip again, I would use Davo as my guide for sure.
