Hi Travelers, I'm Javier, local accredited trekking, trail running, and horseback riding guide based in Puerto Natales, Chilean Patagonia — surrounded by fjords, mountains, and glaciers. Born and raised in this southern territory, I've spent my career guiding in some of Chile's most beautiful southern national parks, working to support the conservation and sustainable development of these ecosystems. I believe a good guide doesn't just lead the way — they shape the whole experience. I keep things zero-ego and hands-on: I'll share the knowledge you need to really understand and enjoy the places we visit, so you leave with a genuine connection to Patagonia, not just photos of it. I specialize in private, fully customized trips. With an extended network of contacts across Magallanes and Araucanía, I can connect you to the right places and people — with the flexibility to build a program around what you actually want. Traveling as a larger group, or want something fully custom? Send me a DM — every program here can be adapted. Credentials: Registered with Chile's National Tourism Service (SERNATUR) Accredited Trekking Guide, Torres del Paine National Park Mountain Rescue Course certified Wilderness First Responder (WFR) Tourist Business Manager

Spend a day hiking in Torres del Paine National Park! Your tour starts with pick up from your hotel in Puerto Natales. After a 2 hours scenic drive, we will arrive in the Park and from there we'll start the hike to the base of the towers. The trail goes up from the beginning, is approx 10km long (6. 2 miles, 12, 4 round trip) and all the way we'll be discovering beautiful lookouts for amazing views of the park. You will pass through native forests, mountain terrain and, for the last section, granite moraine all the way to the lake in the base of the towers. Here we will make a stop to explore the summit, take pictures and enjoy our lunch. After a good rest, we'll go back down to take the transportation back to Puerto Natales.
If I could rate more than 5 stars, Javier would get them. He went above and beyond of what I expected to see and do. He is extremely knowledgeable about the area. He was very encouraging on the hike. Javier has a wonderful authentic personality.
Javier was an amazing guide! Our trip to Patagonia was the highlight of our trip and Javier made it all possible. He is professional, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about Patagonia. I highly recommend you use Javier to maximize your experience.
My family and I had a great time hiking with Javier in Torres del Paine. He was very helpful in preparation for our trip with recommendations for where to stay and how to get around Patagonia in the Winter. He led us on excellent hikes and provided very interesting information about the area. He also picked up rental crampons for us and brought them to park which was very helpful. I recommend working with Javier when you are in Patagonia.
Thanks to Javier for making our day memorable. The hike was quite arduous ( for us) . His experience helped enormously. Javier knew the trail intimately and was able to give us great advice on pace and how to manage the different terrains. He was happy to let us take our time, with rest and photo opportunities. Having a private guide was the best decision we made for the hike. We could not praise Javier more highly.
Javier was an excellent tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about the Torres del Paine National park & the surrounding area! We did the 1 day hike to the base of Torres del Paine & via coordination, was able to extend it to a night camping & an extra day of smaller hikes. He provided all the camping equipment and made all the plans. Javier was responsive throughout the planning process. I highly recommend Javier as a guide, we could not have had the complete experience if we hadn't worked with him.
We found Javier personable and VERY helpful. We had a most wonderful day, great hike and recommend his services at the highest level.
