Hello everyone, My name is Emilio, born and raised on the big island of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina. At the age of 20, I did an exchange program and spent two years living in New Zealand and Australia to improve my English and to enjoy the life of a traveler. When I returned home, I opened a backpacker's hostel in Ushuaia, ran it for 8 years, and in my free time kept traveling, and have been lucky enough to get to know all the continents, including Antarctica. In all my travels, I realized that meeting a local guide, that spoke my language, changed how I experienced and understood each place, so in 2010, I decided to take the tourism guide program at the University of Tierra del Fuego. Since 2015, I have been working as a licensed guide with my own vehicle, and I really enjoy taking tourists to unique places and sharing my knowledge, and walking to show them the natural and historical gems that this city has to offer. I think I understand well how a traveler feels in another city, and this is why I really enjoy being the one who helps them make the most out of every minute of their trip! Ushuaia is an amazing place to explore the natural wonders and surroundings. Join me to enjoy different walks and learn from the environment that surrounds us! - Degree as a Tour Guide (Tierra del Fuego University) - Professional tour guide license (national park administration) - Professional Drivers license - Wilderness First Responder Certified - Professional guide license (provincial) - License of tour operator (in the province and inside the national park) - Port administration credential None

    Despite bad weather, Emilio adjusted and showed us a lovely day! We really got to know Ushuaia. His gourmet tasting was excellent.

    Emilio was great. Knowledgeable about the area, history, geology, flora, fauna. Got the most out of our afternoon as possible. Enjoyed the time and would recommend to everyone. Get on local wifi of you don't have data. Easy to use WhatsApp. Emilio met use in town since he was a few minutes early and we were walking around.
