Hola Amigos!!!!
Thank you for choosing Santiago as your holiday destination.
I am Myriam and I have been working in the field of tourism since 1999 (hotels, restaurants and travel agencies) but I always wanted to be a tour guide. I made my dream come true in 2007, falling in love with my country, my city, its history and its charming and cute places. I also have been leading groups through Chile and Argentina.
I am 100% Chilean and I have lived my entire life in Santiago but traveled abroad and through Chile extensively.
I would be honored to have the opportunity to introduce my homeland to you.
I love welcoming foreigners to the country I love so much and the city where I grew up.
I like to share my knowledge about history, wine, people and culture.
I will show Santiago and its surrounding areas with tours that I offer, as well as customized tours, tailored to meet your needs, both with a view as a local would see it. Including less crowded places - off the beaten path whenever possible.
Since I will share so many stories, maps and images with you I prefer to hire a driver for our private van so I can focus on travelers, also it will give us more time and independence because we don´t need to look for parking space or go back to the same place where the car is parked, the driver will pick us up wherever we need as much as possible.
Do you want to learn why are we called the British of South America? Why do we have a sweet tooth? Why people of almost every Latin American country make fun of the Chilean spanish? I invite you to learn this and much more with interesting and juicy stories of Chile.
I am looking forward to meeting you in Santiago to give you the most unforgettable travel experience.
See you soon!!!
