Hello, it is a pleasure to greet you. I'm Hanu, I'm a tour guide, graduate in tourism and entrepreneur, I have guided all over Chile, with a career of 20 years now. I specialize in tailor made private programs and I love this job. The vocation in tourism has to do with enjoying being a host and I love showing my country and sharing unique experiences with our visitors. The visitor is someone very important to me, and I want your trip to be the best possible experience for everyone involve. In Latin America, not everyone thinks like that, but I grew up with an education that taught me to try to do our best.
I speak English, French and of course Spanish. And today I am dedicated to offering daily excursions around Puerto Varas, but also programs from Pucon to Chaiten. For other parts of Chile I could also join you when planned in advance. I work aswell with colleagues and other micro-entrepreneurs to be able to offer all kinds of experiences. If we work together, we will gradually put together a program just for you.

“History, Culture, and Nature”
Hanu guided my wife and me for two days in the Lago Llanquihue area. We enjoyed beautiful weather, which allowed Hanu to show us a mix of the lakeside towns and areas of nature. Speaking excellent English, Hanu was enjoyable to be with and his knowledge provided depth and insight into the area.
