Lisette

When I was 17 years old, I moved from northern Chile, my home country, to Italy for a life-changing two-year studying experience. Afterwards, life would never be the same for me, as I was always eager to connect with new places and people.

It was a drive for me to learn new languages and eventually start a career in the travel industry. I moved to Patagonia, attracted by a sense of adventure, and immediately fell in love with the rugged landscapes of “the far south”. Here, I found the dream place to pursue my passions, namely, horseback riding, spending time in nature and simply getting along with friendly people.

I have always had a fascination with the unspoiled. For me, Patagonia is the very definition of “unspoiled”, with untouched scenery, abundant wildlife and some of the world’s most spectacular national parks. From the very first day I reached Chile’s Magallanes region, I fell in love with the uniqueness of Patagonia’s pristine nature and the great diversity of landscapes, from the windy steppe to the glorious granite spires of Torres del Paine.

I currently live in Puerto Natales with my husband and daughter, the perfect base to go explore the surrounding wild places and to raise and educate the future guardians of nature.

I joined Swoop in September 2022, as part of the Customer Experience Team. My role involves helping travellers make their Patagonian adventure come true with the highest level of safety, comfort and genuine hospitality. I’m always eager to help and share tips and advice from a local perspective.
