Hi I'm Nicolas. I was born in Ushuaia in 1985 and I grew up exploring with my family and friends the wonderful nature of this area in every possible way: hiking, climbing, skiing, sailing, kayaking, camping, etc. I also have been guiding since I'm 17 years old. This is about the same time when I started my guiding studies in the local university (Universidad de Tierra del Fuego). I chose the outdoors guiding as my profession because it is a great pleasure and a real passion for me to be the link between the nature and our visitors. Help others through my knowledge and experience to find themselves closer to the forest, the sea or the mountains is my goal every time I go to work. I'm very passionate as well about people diversity, so I love to customize my tours to better fit the visitor's needs. I you have any particular interest write me. It will be a great pleasure to help you. - University degree as a Tour Guide - Professional guide license (provincial) - Professional tour guide license (national park administration) - Professional canoe guide license (national park administration) - Professional Drivers license - Wilderness First Responder Certified - License of tour operator (in the province and inside the national park) - Port administration credential

Nicholas is excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable, passionate about history and nature, his vehicle is very clean and reliable in any road conditions, he is a very good, safe driver, he accommodates our individual needs, since we asked to change itinerary from original. He had booked an amazing restaurant for our lunch, the food was very delicious and fresh, beautiful views from windows. We very much enjoyed. He is also very good photographer and took incredible photos for us. I highly recommend Nicholas for your travel from Ushuaia.

The region of Lago Escondido and Lago Fagnano has beautiful fauna and flora. The lakes are very special. The trails require the driver to be careful and to use an appropriate vehicle. The guide Nicolas has these requirements in addition to vast scientific and cultural knowledge of the places, which makes the tour even more beautiful. Added to this is friendliness, commitment and professionalism. Truly an unforgettable tour.
