Hello to you all! First of all, thank you so much for stopping by and your interest in exploring the longest country in the world, Chile! Let me tell you that I was born and raised in Concepción, one of the rainiest cities in Southern Chile. I hold a B. A. Degree in Communications and Journalism, besides a Higher Education Diploma in Tourism Management and Sustainability. I decided to became a tour guide because I truly believe that the act of human communication is essential for making a better and more understanding world, which is why I put all of my passion into letting others know about Chile's history and the immense social and cultural richness of the southernmost country on the globe. During my 20's and after graduating from college, I spent time traveling and working overseas, particularly in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, but after seven years, I knew it was time to come home and I felt the duty to show the wonders of Chile to visitors from overseas. I sincerely take pride in my job as a tour guide because I play the role of ambassador to foreign travelers. I have an infectious enthusiasm and passion for literature, the performing arts, photography and nature. Regarding my background, I have over 10 years of experience working in the hospitality and tourism industry in both Chile and abroad. I have guided over 20, 000 people so far, not only in Chile, but also in the rest of South America and I haven't lost a single one!

“Fantastic service and personalized touches.”
We needed transport from the Santiago Airport to Vina Del Mar where we would stay a few days before embarking on a cruise. Hector picked us up directly from the Santiago airport in a very nice and clean Mercedez mini-van. We stopped in a quaint coffee shop in a small town to take a breather before heading to a beautiful winery, tucked away in the rolling hills of the Casablanca Valley. We were hosted by Alexandra, the sommelier of the Villard Winery who recounted the French history of the winery and explained the characteristics of the soil, micro climate and sun exposure that gave each grape its unique and wonderful flavor. By far, the best wine tasting experience we ever had. Then Hector presented us with a series of options for lunch and we opted for a small Italian restaurant in his native city of Valparaiso, outside of the usual tourist tracks. We loved it!! He then took us around the city of Vina Del Mar before dropping us at our hotel in late afternoon. Throughout the tour and intersperse with personal stories, Hector took the time to explain his country’s history and culture. The day could not have been better. We highly recommend Hector and his driver.

“City tour and transfer to hotel San Antonio ”
We enjoyed a relaxing but informative private city tour with Juan after arriving in Santiago from Canada. Juan showed us many sights, some driving but also some walking, as well as the gondola, before driving us to San Antonio hotel. He was efficient, kind and had a sense of humor. Appreciated his English! Thanks.
