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.

Valparaiso is perched among the hills which describe, through people and architecture, the past of one of the most magnificent harbors in the Heritage site by UNESCO, which resulted in a boom for tourism and culture. The Cultural Capital of Chile has been an important part of the country's history. It's a large bay with 45 hills around it that have naturally formed a spectacular amphitheater, the sea is the stage and each houses a seat with a panoramic view of the harbor. Its hills are characterized by their view points, promenades, steep stair and Narrow Street that if they had been formally designed they would not have the magic they have. As if this was not enough, the hills have funiculars, called elevator, that connect ordinary people, from the heights where they live, to the plan where business activity operates in the city. These funiculars were built since year 1883, today they are National Monuments, a many of them are still operating. Continue to the coast and visit the town of Viña del Mar.
We will meet you at Valparaiso Cruise Ship or Santiago Airport or Hotel Drive towards to Casablanca. Here we can make our first technical stop for restrooms, this place has local empanadas, chocolate and souvenir. Crossing Casa Blanca wine region you can take pictures and enjoy the view. Once we get to Viña del Mar we can visit a nice place call Reñaca, which is seaside resort. A good spot for photos is la Roca Oceanica (Oceanic Rok) where we can see some sea lions. In the way to Vaparaiso we will see old mansions where the richest families used to live. To get to know Valparaiso we have to take one or two funiculars in the way to the hills where you will enjoy interesting murals and graffitis.
