I'm Jezabel, but my friends call me Jes. I was born and raised in Salta. I spent my childhood reading everything about History, Geography, Literature and so on, and I had the chance to live a couple of months in England, that helped me to improve my english speaking. And that's why my work as a tour guide started as son as I was 21 years old in 2005. While I was doing my degree as a Professor in History at University, I also worked in the High Altitude Archeological Museum (MAAM) which is nowadays the most visited museum in the country. That also expanded my knowledge of the richness of the culture and history that we have at the North West of Argentina. Currently, I´m a PhD Canditate in Social and Cultural Studies at the UNSA, and on my free time I still work doing some historical and anthropological research. I turn my trips into a way of living, I enjoy being a guide, but also being a tourist. I spent a couple of years traveling around Asia, Italy and South America. This helped me to discover that in difference there is always something in common. This is a dialectical relationship that is created in the journey of traveling. Talking, learning, sharing is part of the many things that happens when we are open to know something new. Being an interpreter, not just a guide, has given me the chance to interact with individuals from all over the world, and I consider myself fortunate to learn from them, and share my experiences with them too. I have an easygoing personality, that I believe enables me to connect with travelers on a slightly deeper level and make their adventures in the Argentinean NW unforgettable. I would love to take you to the mountains, enjoy the good wines of the region and our fabulous food that are a great part of the NW culture. All my tours can be customized so we can find the best for you!

    My wife and I just finished a six day tour of Salta and Jujuy provinces in Argentina with Jes. I cannot say enough positive things about her. We had an absolutely fantastic time! She was always prompt and cheerful (even at the end of six full days of touring involving hours of challenging driving through mountain switchback roads). Before our trip she was very responsive...

    This tour was absolutely AMAZING!!! Jes is the heart & soul of what every ToursByLocals guide strives to be - fun, knowledgable, and so accommodating to whatever we wanted to do & see. The tour itinerary itself is amazing, the places we saw are like nothing else in the world, but truly what made the tour was Jes herself. Her personality made the tour 1000x better for us,...

    We spent two unforgettable days touring the small towns north of Salta with Jes, and she is truly exceptional. Incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s geography, history, cultures, and topography, Jes brought every place to life with depth and enthusiasm. She’s fully prepared for the journey, a calm and safe driver, and her warm personality and great sense of humor...
