I'm a chilean, that was born in Santiago. After working as a mechanic technician at the airpot, I decide to work in tourism, because I realy enjoy to talk with people from another countries and cultures. What I do is to let them know the wounderful land that we have, in terms of knowledge teaching them about history, archeology, flora, fauna and architecture. My satisfaction is to provide my knowledge to the tourists that want to visit Chile. I also work for the US Embassy in Santiago to whom I provide transportation support as a bilingual driver-guide. As Chile is a wine producing country I manage a vast knowledge about different wine valleys, wineries and also the whole process of making one of the best wines of the world. I have been travelling through my country for many years, so I know the needs of de people. English Courses At ELS international Santiago, all Compulsory Education,mechanical technician at Inacap Institute, courses at pre Columbian Art museum, And a First Aid Course.

Overview of your Santiago tour

Driving from Santiago is only 1h to have a nice experience of the Majestic Andes Mountain scenery, we can see one of the biggest bird of the Andes. Condors and others Birds. Beautiful wildlife and color full flowers of this altitude. The experience is super fantastic! You will have the most beautiful views, because I will show places where the tourist don't go just the local know. Leaving the hotel we gonna take the route to Maipo canyon, in the way the first stop will be in the countryside to buy some home made bread, then we continue with the view of the river where we can get good photos of the place the people, and much more! Once we get to the main square you can take pictures of the old church and also we can buy souvenir of this location. after to reach two thousand meters high you will see one of active volcano in the central zone of Chile call San Jose and also in the way we can make a stop in a spot with a waterfall call the bride's veil to take photos.

What great day we had with Leoncio and JP . From the moment we got into the van we felt welcomed.. The tour gives u such a great experience and awesome places that we wouldn't have been to see .. Leoncio picked out great places for us to see stretch our legs and use restrooms.. They were very conscious our safety.. We chose this tour because of the views of the Andes and the volcano.... Leoncio explained a lot to us about the cities we passed thru on the way up... We stopped a few times for pics and have to say it's was amazing.. Leoncio picked a great place for a picnic, awesome charcuterie with wines and beer . JP got us to all places safely and was quite a jokester .. Leoncio was able to slide in a winery stop and that was very nice of him to do for us... What a great day 10 Stars highly recommend Leoncio tours.. I hope to visit again and I'd definitely book Leoncio again!!

This excursion was an outstanding way to end our 22 day vacation and one of the best days of our entire trip. The drive into San José de Maipo and the Andes was beautiful, with great views of the Maipo River, the mountains, and several well planned scenic stops. Our guide, Leo, was excellent. He was funny, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable about Chile, and clearly enjoys teaching and sharing what makes the country special. The stops near San José Volcano and El Yeso Dam offered incredible views and photo opportunities. Seeing two condors soaring over the Andes was unforgettable. Leo’s driver, JP, was fantastic and made the mountain roads feel safe all day. Lunch at a local restaurant was absolutely incredible (it was truly some of the best food we had on our entire trip). They also went above and beyond by helping us buy an extra suitcase for our souvenirs and wine. It was perfect!

We have been enthusiastic users of Tours by Locals for many years and have never been disappointed. That records remains unbroken. Our tour with Leoncio was one of the most memorable that we have ever had. Leonicio and his driver, JP, were kind, considerate, knowledgeable, professional and engaging. The drive to San Jose Volcano was stunning and the picnic lunch along a raging stream was wonderful. We could not have had a more fun time exploring this part of the imposing Andes. Thanks TBL and particularly “Leo” and JP.

Beautiful scenery—very enjoyable way to spend the day. Leo met us at our airport hotel, loaded our bags into his van, and we were off for the day. He was very informative about many topics, including history, politics, and culture. Tomas, our driver, stayed with the van when we left with Leo, so it was always safe. Dropped us off at our Airbnb in the city. Tasted some very nice wines with the provided charcuterie lunch!
