Among the major challenges to date, highlighted mainly two:
Seven Summits of the World, which means to climb the highest peak on every continent on the planet. I started this challenge in the year 1995 when it reached the summits of Mount Aconcagua in Argentina, the South America's highest peak and Mount McKinley also called Denali in Alaska, the higher top of the North American continent. In the year 1997, the project continued reaching the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa's highest peak. In the year 1998, it was the turn of the highest summit on the European continent, Mount Elbrus in Russia. And for the year 1999 was achieved to the tops of the Carstensz Pyramid on the island of New Guinea, in the region known as Irian Jaya, which belongs to Indonesia and Mount Kosciuszko, higher crest of Australia. I escalated both summits to be out of the current debate to define which one is really the highest peak on the continent of Oceania or Australasia, if someday reach agreement geographers concerned, it was decided to climb both, just in case. For the year 2000, I could climb to the highest peak of the Antarctic continent, Vinson Massif and finally, in the year 2001 I reached the highest peak of the Asian continent and the World, Mount Everest. The second great challenge was the Seven Mountains + Seven Islands, also called the Seven Islands of the World, which means climbing the highest summit of the seven largest islands on the planet. This challenge was launched in 2002, climbing to the top of Mount Kerinci on the island of Sumatra, the same year also took place my ascent to the top of Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak of the island of Borneo and also that year I could climb to the top of Mt Whilhelm largest summit in Papua New Guinea. At the end of that same year 2002 also could reach the highest peak on the island of Honshu, the famous Mount Fuji, but in winter conditions. By the year 2003, I climbed the summit of Teté Blanche Peak in Baffin Island and the same year was the peak of Mount Gunnbjörns Fjeld that is the highest summit of the largest island in the World, the island of Greenland. In the year 2004, continuing with this great challenge I climbed the summit of Mount Ben Nevis, in winter conditions, the highest peak of the island of Great Britain, which is the largest island in Europe and the eighth largest island in the World. The reason doing it, was to maintain the same number of peaks that I managed to do with the challenge of the Seven Summits of the World, that was eight. The year 2006 was achieved after enormous difficulties to solve political, economic and logistics, travel to the island of Madagascar, and climb up the highest peak of the island, Mount Maromokotro and successfully complete this challenge in that year.

The most recent goal reached was in 2008 when it successfully completed the ascent of the Seven Summits of the Andes something that no one from Central America and the Caribbean had been completed yet
