Welcome to ToursbyLocals.com! Hello everyone! I’m María, and I’m excited to be part of this incredible team since 2019. I can't wait to share my passion for guiding in the stunning Lake District region with all of you. A Little About Me Adventure has always been my companion! With a deep love for hiking, biking, and horse riding across the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia, I bring over 20 years of experience to the table, starting my journey back in 1998. In 2013, I founded Patagonia Trails in Puerto Varas, Chile. There’s nothing I cherish more than connecting travelers with the hidden gems of my homeland and fostering a sense of community.My friends and colleagues affectionately call me "La María," and you’ll often find me exploring the beautiful trails of Frutillar, Osorno Volcano, Lake Llanquihue, Lake Emerald, and other enchanting spots in this pristine area of lakes and mountains. I invite you to discover this Volcanic Land through my eyes. Together, we’ll explore, share stories, laugh, and, most importantly, make lasting friendships while enjoying life! To ensure you have the best experience possible, I focus entirely on you. A Bit More About Me: CertificationsWilderness First Responder since 2003, consistently up to date.

I’m here to make your experience truly unforgettable, and I can’t wait to share this wonderful region with you! See you soon! María

Overview of your Puerto Montt tour
Crystal-clear waters cascade at Petrohué Falls, transforming into stunning turquoise hues. Curious about its beauty? Let me share the story behind this breathtaking formation and when it occurred. Booking this tour guarantees not only a deep understanding of the area but also fascinating tales from local people about the iconic Osorno Volcano and the rich mythology of the Huilliche people.As a special treat, I’ll take you to a local spot in Puerto Varas where residents enjoy authentic, non-touristy lunches and beers (not included). Before that, we’ll drive along a scenic route to get a closer view of Osorno, standing majestically at 1,250 meters (4,100 feet) above sea level. Get ready for an unforgettable day filled with adventure and discovery!

We had a good day with Maria and driver. Drove out into the country and lakeside, saw beautiful towns and scenery along the way, interspersed with a nice time outside the vehicle with nice leisurely walks in parks and along spectacular waterways. Very interesting seeing another part of the country outside the cities. Maria is very knowledgeable, answering all our questions about flora, fauna and Chile life. Nice stop for lunch as part of our day too!

I wish I could choose 10 Stars! Maria was awesome. She was so knowledgeable and accommodating. Our trip to Petrohue was the highlight of our to trip to South America thus far. Thanks Maria for a very memorable day.

We joined Maria from our cruise ship in Puerto Montt. It was a lovely day visiting the main Volcano, the Peterohue Falls and surrounding areas as well as the picturesque town. Maria and her driver were very professional and reliable. Communication was very good. Highly recommended.
Cathy R.United States
Maria is among the very best private guides that I've ever booked. The beauty of the area around Puerto Montt is drop dead gorgeous. It is hard to experience the many scenic places during a limited cruise ship day. That's where Maria was an experienced pro managing time so effectively. We wanted to take a boat trip on Lago Esmeralda. To save time, rather than wait until the next scheduled departure, Maria arranged a private cruise departing immediately for a very reasonable fee. Highly recommend!
