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.
