AAGM and aspiring IFMGA guide from Argentina.

Since a very young age I felt attracted by the mountains, so I started climbing and spending time there. That's how mountaineering and climbing became not just an activity, but a lifestyle for me.

This lifestyle allowed me to discover many places, and get to know beautiful mountains. And I also realized that I could earn my living with this passion, so I became a guide,

Nowadays I have the big pleasure of working in the place I like really love: the mountains.

I worked a couple of seasons guiding in El Chaltén, and nowadays focus mainly in North Patagonia and Mendoza regions.

I climbed Domuyo with Benjamín few days ago, it was amazing! Benja, and his assistant Martín, were very clever and professional handling a group in which the members had different levels of experience and training. Besides, they know the area and the mountain very well, so we were able to make it to the summit! I definitely recommend Benja as a guide in Patagonia, he made us feel very safe at all moments, and helped us discover a fantastic place.

Me and my partner did the Volcan Lanin trek with Benjamin as our guide. It was spectacular. The trek itself was challenging and amazing, with brilliant views. Benjamin was the best guide we could have asked for. He spoke perfect English and he was so helpful on the mountain. He made us feel very safe despite some tricky conditions and we trusted his decision making. He also taught us how to use crampons and how to use our ice axes, which was also very useful and made us feel safe. I would recommend Benjamin to anyone - he is a brilliant guide and a great person. Thank you Benjamin for making Volcan Lanin the highlight of our trip to Argentina!
