Many of my family members lived outside of Chile, so trips and tours have always been part of my life, and I developed a personal interest about both the world and other countries since I was a child. When I studied journalism in college, I was able to explore a little bit more about our history and the reasons behind our development, those that led Chile to be the way it is, and me the way I am. But these studies also gave me the initiative to travel and explore on my own. I love sharing part of my time visiting places abroad, and and showing the places and activities that travelers want to visit in Chile! In a country with a large selection of landscapes and cultures, most of the trips start or finish in Santiago, a place that can used as a starting point for many day tours or activities too. I can assure you that with my 25 years of experience as a tour guide and a host to foreign travelers in Chile, this truly is a place that you can visit, learn, and enjoy. That is something that still happens to me and I would like to share why!

Overview of your Santiago tour
If you come to Santiago, I'll take you to beautiful places that you'll love visiting. Especially if you have a brief time here, let me guide you through them. It would be my pleasure to do so because I truly enjoy going around the city where I live. But beyond the mere enjoyment, we'll visit locations that will help you learn much more about my country due to the traces of our history attached to them, which I'll address and discuss. On this tour, I'll take you through a timeline of Santiago and the extensive journey the city went on until present day. We'll go from the first historical traces before the city's foundation, all the way to the Santiago that we have in front of our eyes now. You'll see the evolution of our architecture as I share some interesting stories of our ancestors. If you book this tour, I'll help you discovering surprising things that are present in our history. I know that the walls and the buildings in Santiago will help you understand why Chile became what it is known to be now.
