“Cris, thank you so much for guiding my wife and I through one of the biggest challenges of our lives. We are not athletes and have little experience on high altitude trails, and yet you guided us with confidence, attention and safety to the top of Cerro Toco. In addition to leading us with a lot of love, kindness and good conversation on the way there and back. I wish you and your wife much success in your journey leading On the Road. A big hug from Brazil!”
