Hello! Thank you for visiting Santiago and its surroundings. I would love to be your guide and connect you with the local culture and people. My name is Paula, I was born and raised in Santiago and since I was an exchange student I have been fascinated by traveling and the opportunities to learn and discover different people and cultures. I have been working in the field of tourism since 2001 in different positions, but my favorite part of the job has been to share my country with visitors from other parts of the world. I also love to design tours and visit places where travelers usually don't go to create a true local travel experience. We may be a small country but full of interesting, funny stories that I would love to share with you: Why do we drink tea and call it time for "onces" (Elevens)? Would you like to have Chilean "onces"? Of course! Let's do that! My favorite tours have history, culture, interaction with locals, local cuisine, and wine and I love not only to talk about that but to taste it! I'm looking forward to meeting you and being able to introduce you to the local Chilean culture. 23 years of experience in tourism as local guide, tour leader, customer services and operations with an international tour operator Certified Local Guide in Central Area of Chile by SERNATUR (Chile's National Tourism Service) Master in Sustainable Management of Touristic Destinations by OMT Bachelor's degree in Psychology. Universidad de Chile. Member of the Profesional Tour Guide Association of Santiago. First Aid Course A course of History of Santiago and Ancient Cultures I prefer not to drive and focus on the tours. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    I so enjoyed getting to know Santiago through Paula’s eyes. We covered history, culture and what it’s like in Santiago today. She went above and beyond to make my day special.

    Paula gave us a terrific walking tour of Valparaiso that included a delightful lunch with a local family in their hillside home. She provided interesting background information along our walk, and was very flexible when we asked to stop for coffee. The local family was so friendly, and lunch was fantastic. I highly recommend Paula for this tour!

    There are not enough positive things I can say about our tour with Paula. We are a group of 3 seniors who were interested in the learning the history of Chile with a focus on the political history and also visiting the Museum on Human Rights. She developed a personalized tour that more than exceeded our expectations. She is incredibly knowledgeable and paced the tour to...
