Mountain Guide
IFMGA/UIAGM guide from Argentina - Patagonia
I live all year in Chalten, southern Patagonia, since 2015. I started guiding trekking in 2009. At the end of 2012, I started with the fanaticism of alpine climbing. I have climbed Mount Fitz Roy three times and all the satellite peaks of this range.
I've done climbing and ascents in many mountains of Andes Range, Bolivia and Argentina, such as Condoriri, Ojos del Salado, Pisis, Patagonia southern Icefield among others
I am passionate for backcountry ski. An activity to discover in these latitudes!
I belong to the new generation of AAGM high mountain guides, committed to teaching you all the necessary techniques to make your challenges safe and unforgettable!

Juan was fantastic throughout our multipitch climbing day. He picked us up from our accommodation and tailored our experience to our climbing ability and what we wanted to gain from the experience. He spoke impeccable English and had a meticulous attention to detail with regards to safety. We learnt a number of skills we can take forward in our own climbing. We could not recommend Juan as a guide or person higher. Brilliant day!
Stay up-to-date on the best adventures.
