About Me
When I was a child, I grew up in the Atacama Desert, an imposing landscape that sparked a deep love for nature in me. Over time, that passion led me south to Patagonia, where today I roam the vast and wild landscapes of the Última Esperanza province. With years of experience on the ground, my work goes beyond being a guide; I am also an explorer, a storyteller, and a strong advocate for conservation. I have had the opportunity to travel to different corners of the world, exploring various ecosystems and cultures, but I always return to Patagonia, the place I consider my home.
I am convinced that responsible tourism can be a key tool for conservation, protecting natural landscapes and benefiting local communities. Whether leading groups on expeditions or participating in environmental projects, my goal is to inspire a deeper connection between people and nature. I am particularly motivated to teach travelers about the fragility of Patagonia’s ecosystems, sharing knowledge about its fauna, geology, and indigenous history to enrich their experience. Being part of Chile Nativo allows me to combine my love for adventure with the joy of sharing the essence of Patagonia. When I’m not guiding, I enjoy working in the field, caring for animals, and living outdoors. I am passionate about swimming in icy waters, running on trails, kayaking, and actively participating in cultural tasks such as livestock farming.
