Cheerful and charismatic, I was born in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Valparaíso. I have been a nomad within my own country since a very young age. I embarked on a journey as a world explorer and a connoisseur of diverse cultures, fostering my passion for tourism along the way. My insatiable curiosity and thirst for knowledge led me to pursue an English Teaching Program, honing my language skills to perfection. With an unwavering dedication to service, my heart beats to the rhythm of the tourism industry. From the captivating landscapes of the Atacama Desert to the vibrant city life of Santiago, I have traversed the length and breadth of Chile, unearthing hidden gems and weaving fascinating tales for my clientele. My encyclopedic knowledge of fauna, people, and pop culture is the cornerstone of my tours. I effortlessly blend facts, anecdotes, and captivating stories to create an immersive and authentic experience for my esteemed guests. Whether exploring the historical streets of Valparaíso or embarking on an unforgettable trek through the Patagonian wilderness, my tours are carefully crafted to inform, entertain, and leave an indelible mark on the hearts of my clients. Passionate about my homeland, my infectious enthusiasm shines through every interaction. My mission is to showcase the wonders of Chile to visitors from every corner of the globe, sharing the vibrant colors, rich history, and warm hospitality that define my beloved country. With me as your guide, prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey filled with awe-inspiring moments and lifelong memories. - English Teaching Program ( Catholic University of Valparaíso - PUCV) - Wilderness First Responder (WFR - 80 Hrs) - 2019-2020 - Chilean Fauna + Biology of the Atacama Salt Flat Certification - 2018 - Early Northern Chilean Cultures Certification - 2018 - 8 Years + Tour Guide and Tour Leader Experience. *Even if there is no availability on the calendar, hit me up with a message! =)
