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

We were most fortunate to have Javier as our guide. His knowledge of the area, the fauna and flora, the culture of its people and especially the Mapuche is just wonderful. Javier made us feel welcomed and went out of his way to make sure we got the most out of our time. I have recommended Javier to others and will continue to do so.
Javier was an absolute gem! His knowledge and pride for his work and country shined through. We’ve used Tours by Locals for several years. This tour and Javier was the best we’ve ever experienced. Torres Del Paine National Park is breathtaking! I’ve never experienced anywhere more beautiful! Don’t miss this experience with Javier. It has been the highlight of our 6 week South American adventure.
Javier is one of the greatest guides on our trip - athletic and full of energy. We felt very confident and comfortable during our hikes with him . Torres del Paine is a must see, once in a lifetime sight - not to be missed and Javier made it much more interesting.
Javier is an amazing tour guide! We would definitely use him again. With safety at the top of mind, Javier is very engaging, personable, and professional. We felt safe and very well informed, as he took lots of time and effort to show us areas of Torres del Paine National Park that were not frequently travelled by other guests. He was also patient with us and truly cared that we were having a quality experience across the board!

Pick up from your hotel accommodation, drive to the boat crossing at Pehoe Lake (30 min one way), and hike round trip to French Valley (13 miles and 2300 elevation gain, 6 hours total approximately). On our way back, we´ll retake the boat crossing (30 min) and drive back to your accommodation.

After this, we´ll end our day driving back to your accommodation.
