I love travelling! And that's why I've made of it my way of life. I'm a professional guide. Since 1999 I've been working in Salta, my birth place, and after that in the whole of Argentina, and in other countries, like Bolivia and Chile, South Africa, Namibia and Bostwana, until I've found my second home in Norway, where I spend half of the year. In the austral summers I'm in Argentina, ready to show the marvellous landscapes of the Argentinian Northwest. I work with a 4x4 car, and I love going out of the beaten paths, discovering hidden places, and taking the time to enjoy every single moment: a sunset, a glass of wine, a chat with a local person. During boreal summers I'm in Norway and I bike all over the amazing Oslo, to show travellers the most significant places: from the old city to the super modern new areas, from busiest working neighborhoods to relaxing green parks, from the main touristic attractions to the hidden spots where locals live, eat, work and have fun. I like sports. I believe that walking or biking gives you a much closer contact with the enviroment. You don't need to be a fit person, we can adapt the experience to all the levels, but I definitely suggest you to try it. The colors will seem stronger, you will feel the sounds, the smells, and the wind will stroke your face. I enjoy the contact with people, and I want to share what I've learned with you to help to make of your trip the best experience. Tourist Guide, registered in the Tourism Ministry of Salta. Certified guide in Oslo, Norway. Owner and guide of a company providing bike tours in Oslo. Degree in Tourism. Specialized in Tourism in Natural and Rural Areas. 4x4 vehicle enabled in Salta (Toyota Hilux 2012) Professional driver's license Physical Education teacher. First aid training.

Desert, salt flats and vulcanoes
Overview of your Salta tour
Ready for adventure? Then, this tour is for you! An introduction to this vast area called Puna, a high plateau extended from Bolivia to Argentina and Chile, and characterized by volcano formations, that gave origin to the Andes range, and the mineral richness of the area. Between the mountains huge plains give place to salt lakes, surrounded by wild animals, such as vicuñas, flamingoes, ñandus, and the splendid puma. You'll be surprised by the colours and the immensity. This is an inhospitable region. Long distances without people or towns. You need to plan careful every step. I've been travelling here for years, and I can solve unexpected situations that can happen in a trip like this. This sound quite wild, but that's exactelly the charm of this tour. An exotic destination, that few people have visited, but that is really worth to go! Be ready for simple but clean lodging and meals, tough roads, and a lot of beauty and peace. This region is huge, ask me if you have time and want to see more places
