Life before Swoop
After many years guiding through all of Patagonia, but mainly in Torres del Paine National Park, I decided that I wanted to step aside from the endless nights on the trail and use my strengths to settle down and work on the logistics side of things. I jumped right into operations and sales working for some of the same companies that I guided for so many years.
Apart from hiking and trekking, I love playing music and singing, rock climbing, horseback riding, cooking, and knitting.

How to see it
Via boat - It's possible to enter Torres del Paine by navigating the Serrano River. It makes for a dramatic entrance to the Park and offers a very different experience from many of the other activities in the national park. You can pass the hours watching icebergs float past and spotting the many impressive glaciers along its course.
Via kayak - Accessible from the waters of Ultima Esperanza Fjord (Last Hope Sound), the Serrano Glacier is great for keen paddlers. You'll be in amongst the lagoon's icebergs that have calved from the front of the glacier. Find out more about kayaking in Torres del Paine, and about trips that take you kayaking to glaciers, including the Serrano.
My Patagonia experience
With 8 years of guiding in the area, and making overland trips, I was able to visit all the highlights from the north to the south of Patagonia. I have been able to trek around every corner of the Magallanes region in addition to other areas like the Aysén region and Argentinean Patagonia.
My guiding years were memorable and I met many amazing travelers from all over the world. Now, my goal is to help plan amazing adventures for travelers wishing to visit Patagonia and show them every detail they need to really feel and enjoy this special place.

Why I love Patagonia
Patagonia is not only home for me, it is also a unique place in the world where you feel really tiny and you can embrace the wildness of nature with all your senses.
From the vast pampas, the incredible clouds, the guanacos, pumas and woodpeckers to the strong winds and the deep blue glaciers, this place always makes you speechless and will impress you, even if you have been there many times before.
