Alpine Guide

El Calafate, Argentina

Certificates

AAGM 

I moved to El Calafate in 2001 and very soon I started practicing mountain activities, including rock climbing, skiing, hiking and trekking. In 2007, I began to work in the mountains as an assistant guide in Perito Moreno.

I finished my trekking guide course in 2011 and then, in 2015, I completed the following course to become a Mountain Guide.

I manage Zetatrek, a guiding company offering hiking and trekking trips in El Chaltén and Los Glaciares National Park. I work together with a group of guides, so if I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues will do it. All the guides in the team are professionally certified, and hold the required permits to guide.

Reviews with photos

Our hike today was absolutely amazing. We loved it. Everything went smoothly from the taxi pick up to meeting our delightful guide, Vicky. She was informative and professional and very engaging. She led us to the best viewpoints and the most beautiful picnic spot in the world! Juan was really attentive in the lead up to our trip and helped us plan out our other days in El Chalten. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and we are so pleased we booked. We are at the start of our holiday in Argentina and so far it has been fantastic but I’m sure our trek to Laguna de los Tres will be the highlight of our holiday.5
