Again, the trek was totally wonderful. The experience truly exceeded our best hopes for the trip. We really appreciated your guidance: you picked a spectacularly beautiful route that was just the right physical and technical level for us. We felt a sense of accomplishment each day and at times were stretched, but never overwhelmed. We felt safe but not over-guided. And it was really great to get to know you and Jorgito. Both of you were fun and it was enjoyable to spend 5 days with the two of you. And I don 't know how many people I could say that about!
Thanks again for a great vacation and I hope we will see you again some time in the future. Stay in touch and do let us know if you are ever in our neck of the woods. We would love to show you Maine's wonders...very different than Patagonia's but just as beautiful!
Best wishes,

Hi Jorge,
It's been incredibly busy since returning to the states. But it is still very clear in my mind the awesome experience we had biking with German. He taylor made our ride taking into consideration our needs throughout the day. The river valley is absolutely stunning and so was the service we received. German is kind, informative, attentive and, as a bonus, fun to look at!
Lunch was super...we were well fed and felt like queens with all the culinary delights he prepared. Next time to Patagonia I will be better prepared for longer rides and you can be sure that I will choose and recommend Andescross for many outdoor excursions.
Thank you again
You've done a wonderful job with your company and all your adventures.
Sincere thanks

Hola Jorge,
How is everything in beautiful Argentina? I miss it very much already! Here in Vancouver it is dark, rainy and cold. My suntan and wonderful memories will keep my spirit in Argentina! The bike trip was the highlight of our vacation; so many wonderful experiences and beautiful scenery; all in the company of two very charming Argentines… the perfect vacation! I know you say you don’t want to be a big-time business guy, but I will certainly be telling everyone about your company! Big hugs to you and Lucas and be sure to keep in touch,

"...hard
to believe that yesterday I was there and today I am home. There is
laundry spilling out of every room, an empty refrigerator, mail to open,
work waiting at the office, dogs looking at me to take them for a hike,
dinner to figure out for tonight and no Lucas saying, "Sue, would you
like some tea?" .....see below!
"So, before life moves on at the speed of light, I want to tell you
both some thoughts that there was not time to say when we left. First,
a great trip- a magical trip. There hasn't been enough time to think
about all the beauty that my eyes beheld. Right now I am looking at
the framed photo of Cerro Torre that Dave took last year (I never tire
of looking at it) and can't imagine how to sort out all the new images
from this trip. So spectacular! I am afraid that I will have to sneak
out of bed each night to go to my computer and look at the pictures
again and again and again. But there was something different about this
trip that made it even more difficult to leave.... "So, my South American
brothers, I miss your smiles and hope that you have many safe and wonderful
travels that bring you peace and fulfillment".

"Jorge,
we had a great time. I expected the trip and experience to be good but
it turned out to be a great trip. Thanks alot!
Dave Hungerford, CT, USA , April 2006
"Jorge has been extremely helpful and responsive and very versed about
the culture, when it comes to providing information and pictures of
the region and both my wife Joan and I can not wait to climb with him
next summer. We have used numerous guiding services throughout Canada,
So America, Europe, Alaska and the lower 48 of the USA & an honestly
say Jorge and Andescross as informative and courteous as any"

I just wanted to say a big thank-you for the trekking trip - it was
really well organised, with a fantastic route, good food, good company,
and it certainly did not feel like a mass-produced tourist trek! I have
really enjoyed my time in Bariloche, and will be sure to come back again.....when?
I just don´t know. I will definitely look up Andescross again, and recommend
it to anyone coming in this direction.
Sarah Potts, England
I
look forward to whatever you recommend. After such a great time mountain
biking and climbing last November, you guys have my complete confidence
for the best in adventure travel! Best Regards,Geoff
"Jorge:
Yes, I will always remember the trip as one of the BEST. Getting over
the Catedral was an accomplishment to feel good about, once I was at
the TOP!!!! If you guys were not so attentive to us it would not have
been as much fun. Your choice in Friends and assistant guides was Superb!!!!!!!!
See ya," Mary Ann
Jorge, Thanks so much for the information. We got in touch with
Merlin, and hopefully will be able to arrange something with him. Unless
you are able to remain in El Chalten for an extra week or so to guide
us..... Hope everything is going well in your course. We had a great
time on Tronador, thanks for the expert guidance. Best,
Jen and Kevin (spanish students in Bariloche from Washington,
DC)
