Quique speaks perfectly English and French. He is very reliable, trustworthy and everything went very smoothly. If I ever have the chance to go back to South America, I will definitely ask him to guide us again.

I have contacted Quique for climbing my first 6000m (Ishinca and Tocclaraju). Based on my mountain experience Quique has helped me to prepare the required equipment and reassured me on the difficulty of the summit. In August 2019 I crossed the ocean and met him in Huaraz for a small expedition of 5 days. Quique is both a very professional mountain guide and a nice hiking companion, attentive to his client. He speaks several languages, he makes sure the food is good and well balanced, and for the one who wonders ... yes we reached the top of the Ishinca, and two days later the top of the Tocclaraju. It was not easy, but he made it possible.

Our guide, Quique. was top notch. I have used guides all over the world and he stands out in his knowledge, professionalism and kindness. I hope to try and use him in the future. In the mountains, one must adjust to changing conditions and he did so quickly and competently. Besides being one of the nicest people I have ever met, his skills in the mountains cannot be doubted.
