I love nature and doing outdoor activities. I've been practicing climbing, trekking, and mountaineering for more than 17 years. I climbed and did mountaineering in California, Spain, France, Perú and Patagonia.

I'm a Range Trekking Guide since 2011 (Guía de Trekking en Cordillera EPGAMT), organizing ascents, treks, and camping trips, and above all enjoying the wonderful places that nature gives us.

I've been living in El Chaltén for more than 10 years. I fell in love with this town where I have a perfect life balance: I can work in nature, climb, go to the mountains, and share all this with other people.

In this trek, you will enjoy the most beautiful views of the Fitz Roy and Torre range from different angles, as we walk through stunning valleys eroded by glaciers.

We start our day from El Chalten heading up the most spectacular and popular hiking trail in Los Glaciares National Park. Along the way, we'll have amazing views of the valleys, glaciers, and mountains that surround us. The paths climb up through the Patagonian Andean Forest, crossing creeks, and marshlands, and with the endless Patagonian steppe on our back.
