You need JavaScript enabled to view it – (56 2) 7964600 Our “big boss” is a happy restless native of Santiago who enjoys diversity and knows how to make the best of life with his family, friends and of course travelling. His biggest passion is helping and advising travellers, encouraging them to visit new places. His first approach to GoChile was in 1996, he liked it so much that he decided to participate and invest on our website. As a tourism entrepreneur he has received many awards. His latest project is the TV show Mundo ad Portas, whose latest version was made in south-east Asia. As most of our team,  he has been to so many places that we’d be ages naming them, but one of his favorites, because it’s part of his personal history, is Pucón on the shores of the Lake Villarica.

After finishing school, he went hitchhiking through Europe; there he realized he wanted to work in tourism. He studied business engineering, but never imagined himself working in a bank, so he did an MBA in leisure management. In 2005 he joined our team, full of energy, and writing on the whiteboard with a literally unreadable handwriting. His favorite place in Chile is the region of Aysén, because of its amazing and varied natural scenery. In his free time he likes going out for dinner, being with his family and friends, and playing racquetball.

He is one of the greatest travelers of our team and is always looking for new destinations, everything that’s not common is what interests him the most and what he recommends for tourists. In his free time he likes playing with his son, cooking and playing guitar.
