I am an individual who possesses a deep love for my country, enjoys engaging with people, and has a strong passion for travel. I am genuinely enthusiastic about acquiring and sharing knowledge, and I firmly believe that an exceptional tour should provide a rich learning experience. However, this does not mean it will be dull or monotonous. On the contrary, armed with the right information, the places we visit become even more captivating and enjoyable. In addition, I am an avid photography enthusiast, and I bring my expertise to bear in the execution of my tours by taking the best pictures of you and sending you everything. My academic background lies in philosophy, where I obtained my degree as a professor. However, a few years ago, I embarked on a journey that amalgamated my teaching profession with guiding tours. Yet, it was the realm of tourism that truly captured my heart. Today, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to pursuing it as my full-time occupation. I have had the opportunity to travel to numerous countries and embark on tours, allowing me to gather valuable experiences and immerse myself in diverse cultures. This not only broadens my own horizons but also enables me to understand the needs and preferences of tourists visiting Chile from different countries. By doing so, I can provide relevant and tailored information based on their specific backgrounds. Moreover, I have carefully crafted various versions of my routes, each with unique elements and slight variations, to ensure that every traveler receives an exceptional experience. Drawing from my extensive 10 years of experience as a guide and guide trainer, I have honed my skills in creating and executing these distinctive itineraries. One valuable lesson I have learned is that, in today's world, the true essence of tourism lies in authentic and local experiences rather than artificially constructed attractions. In addition to offering reliable and up-to-date information from credible sources, my tours delve into various aspects such as historiography, geography, geology, economics, urban planning and architecture, art, culture, and culinary delights. By exploring these facets, travelers can gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for the places they visit. I'm a philosophy teacher formed at the university of Chile. Tour guide in santiago and surroundings since 2010 . And also in Atacama since 2016. Advanced English learned at the University. Medium French. Courses about heritage, architecture and art. None
