I was born in Northern Patagonia, Bariloche city, raised between the mountains and the magical Andean Patagonian forest where I started wondering around when I was a child. Later in time, I had the opportunity to visit almost every edge of the Patagonia Region: from the Atlantic sea, across the Andean Range and to the Pacific Sea. Five years ago I had the chance to visit the southernmost area from this region, which was the moment in which I decided I wanted to work and live in the mountains. Nowadays, I have a hybrid lifestyle in which I spend some months of the year working in Northern Patagonia with Andesitica Adventures, some months in El Chalten, and hopefully some months travelling to other mountains that I haven't been to. I am truly passionate about nature, mountains and the native culture from Patagonia. I will always do my best to preserve the places we visit while we enjoy and imbibe their essence. Feel free to ask for a customized tour including hiking, camping, and more! I am currently working at Bariloche . For guided tours at El Chalten please contact me to check my availability to travel.

Overview of your El Chalten tour

Highlight from Patagonia region. Iconic mountain around the world for its challenging climbing and desired summit. Laguna de los 3 is a glacier lake, located just on the base of the glaciers that surround Fitz Roy Mountain, or as we locals call it, Cerro Chaltèn. This demanding hike implies between 10 and 12 hours walking up the mountain, surrounded by pristine streams, native forest and astounding views from glaciers and mountains. On this opportunity, we start hiking from town a total distance of 24 kilometers and around 800 meters of elevation gain. Both challenging and worthy experience in southern Patagonia. As optionals we can add Piedras Blancas Glacier outlook meaning 5 extra kilometers or we can start our hike at night to expect for sunrise. *Note that as a customized tour, we could start our hike from Rio Electrico.
