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!
