Adventurer and mountain guide, committed to the protection of the environment, my path was clearly shown, during an experience lived at the summit of the Cerro Rojo volcano, at 5,300 m high, in northern Chile. In that place, the imposing majesty of Nature stopped time for a moment, and clearly aroused the desire to act for the conservation and protection of our planet, with the will to involve through our adventures and mountain expeditions in Atacama and Patagonia all people who wish to live an experience that creates awareness and sizes being as part of a living whole.

In 2018 I became involved in the development of the Association of Mountain Guides of San Pedro de Atacama as vice-president. For two years I worked in conjunction with bolivia’s International High Mountain School to conduct training of mountain guides for young enthusiasts in the town.

In 2019, an NGO was created specifically to protect the high-altitude lagoons and salt flats that are severely threatened by mining projects targeting borax and lithium—the so-called “economic transition” that puts the cultural and historical heritage of the Atacama Region at risk. Social initiatives, sustainability projects, and efforts to protect fragile ecosystems were undertaken to ensure that these natural areas remain unaltered for the cultural and material benefit of future generations of Atacameños. A chance trip to Patagonia gave me another experience of communion with nature.

We are now creating new perspectives so that those who wish to join us feel part of an adventure that best enfies their knowledge and love for our land, at the end of the world, thus working for the common good.
