I moved to El Calafate in 2001 and very soon I started practicing mountain activities, including rock climbing, skiing, hiking and trekking. In 2007, I began to work in the mountains as an assistant guide in Perito Moreno glacier. I finished my trekking guide course in 2011 and then, in 2015, I completed the following course to become a Mountain Guide. During my free time I like to go to the mountains, visiting every corner of the National Park. That provide me all the knowledge I need to coustumize your experience to visit this wonderful and wild place. Today I really enjoy to hike on the trails guiding turist and sharing all the information collected a long the time. I am a official Mountain Guide of Los Glaciares National Park. I am Wilderness First Responder. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO GUIDE ON PERITO MORENO GLACIER.
