Travel Team

Our trips are designed to showcase the best of a destination and promote community, sharing and celebration. We thoughtfully curate all elements for an immersive experience. On most days, we’ll spend the morning hiking and reach our campsite by late afternoon, allowing you some free time to relax and soak in the atmosphere of Chile's incredible wilderness.

Jaime, Your Trip Leader

She looks forward to meeting her future fellow explorers and making lifetime memories together!

Trekking Guides

For this adventure we will have a trekking guide ratio of one guide to every seven travelers. Our trekking guides are experts in all things related to our destinations and carry the appropriate qualifications to backpack and hike in the Chile’s Aysén mountains. They are here to provide an authentic trekking experience while ensuring safety is a priority. They are deeply knowledgeable with respect to local cultures, customs and history and is passionate about sharing that with all of us. They are our interpreter, local host and introduce us to the local way of life.

We will be joined by expert expedition guides, each highly qualified. They will be with us for the entirety of the adventure, along with porters to help carry the group's gear.
