Self controlled and serious, Arnaud is the incontestable leader of this expedition while his wife relaxes the team with her optimism and smile.

Igor Martinez

Native to Venezuela, Igor is an excellent climber. Worker in humanitary field, he is in this adventure, the intermediary between the team and the indian comunities but also in the frictions that appear in the group. His positive attitude results essential.
