Aspirant Guide
I am an aspirant IFMGA mountain guide, with extensive experience in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Perú and Ecuador.
I live in Patagonia, in Villa Cerro Castillo, South of Chile, an incredible place with mountains and climbing opportunities everywhere - with many hidden spots yet to explore. I do a lot of guiding in South America´s High Mountains, techical ones, and in Patagonia too.
I also offer rock climbing and mountainering courses in different locations in Chile and in my city. During my tours, I try to create the best experience for my clients, and like to teach them about the cultural and environmental importance of the places we visit.

What people are saying about Nicolás
Alan
Nicolás is a fabulous guide. We loved all the crags and routes he suggested for us. He’s professional with great personality. We’d definitely climb with him again when we’re in the region.
Didier
The site is fantastic. The way to the summit is demanding , it is a long day, and thanks to Nicolas to guide me with a lot of drive and patience !
Marcel
I climbed with Nicolás for two days in Coyhaique (crack climbing on Salto Chico and a multi-pitch on Cerro Mackay) and had a great time. Nicolás is a very nice and friendly guy and absolutely professional as a mountain guide. Totally recommended, and hopefully I‘ll get the chance to do some more climbing with Nicolás.
Highly recommend!
