NORTHWEST SANTA CRUZ, PATAGONIA, ARGENTINA
I design trips in the most untouched corner of Patagonia.
NOTHING BEATS A TRAVELER AND STORYTELLER TO SHAPE THE PERFECT JOURNEY.
Why am I a Travel Designer?
My professional path has grown and transformed over time. For some reason, I always want to take one step further, while keeping one steady goal: to share with people the worlds I discover and love. That’s how I started with photography, then moved into night photography when I discovered incredible starry skies and realized just how much I had been missing. Later on, I trained as a naturalist guide to learn even more about the place I live and to share it with people from all over the world.
That energy, that spark to always go a bit further and share my perspective, led me to travel across Argentina for years—until I finally arrived at these lands in Central Patagonia we call the northwest of Santa Cruz province, famous for Cueva de las Manos, 41 Road, Marble Caves, and so much more. Being a guide isn’t enough for me. That’s why I want to accompany you on your journey and show you this place that’s so unique and untouched to me.
There’s a Patagonia waiting to be discovered—the wonderful Terra Incognita spoken of by so many Argentine and European explorers. Shall we discover it together?
THE TERRITORY EVEN DARWIN
DIDN’T REACH IN HIS TIME
The “Terra incognita”,
the hidden Patagonia.
Land of wild souls, terra incognita… among many other adjectives, this wonderful and rugged corner is described this way in maps and books. Naturally, one thinks of the writings of our reference traveler, Darwin—yet there’s no mention of this place in his work. Bruce Chatwin, famous worldwide for his book In Patagonia, barely touches on this vast region.
However, Don Bosco—the patron saint of Patagonia and also Italian—dreamed of the 47th parallel south, where a majestic volcanic complex rises, hosting an extra-Andean glacier, something quite rare. All this makes northwest Santa Cruz a unique, unexplored, and completely distinct place. The distances are vast, and getting here isn’t as easy as some might be used to, but that’s exactly what makes it even more fascinating—a place the crowds don’t reach. This destination is for those who truly want to experience it, not just take postcards they’ll never look at again.
It will be a journey you’ll remember forever, far beyond the images.
FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF A TRAVELER AND AVID READER
How can I help you?
Living and working in this region has allowed me to build a strong network with its inhabitants and truly experience everything this place has to offer: entrepreneurs, artisans, guides, and local producers. From this genuine, deep connection, I design personalized itineraries always rooted in respect for nature and the identity of the land.
Each trip is tailored to the specific interests of every traveler, combining authentic experiences with themes ranging from stargazing and photography to archaeology, botany, and cultural tourism. Additionally, I provide exclusive visual and narrative materials so agencies can communicate these offerings clearly and attractively.
Themed experiences: photography, dark skies, excursions, archaeology, ancestral culture, and botany.
Visual and written materials to support the promotion and sale of trips.
Option to accompany as a guide interpreter, providing expert knowledge and professional communication.
AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCES
FAR FROM MASS TOURISM
Why choose this place?
I believe that if you’ve made it this far reading, you’ve already caught the essence of northwest Santa Cruz.
Places like El Chaltén, El Calafate, and Ushuaia have become so touristy that it’s hard to truly enjoy the trails or landscapes anymore. In contrast, this territory remains untouched, with the slow rhythms that define and beautify Patagonia, offering full and peaceful stays for those who love to simply behold nature.
Among the activities I offer are wildlife watching, geological excursions, kayaking on Patagonia’s largest lake, botanical outings, dark sky observation combined with indigenous worldviews, horseback riding in national parks, trekking, climbing, and other themed experiences adaptable to all kinds of travelers, but always connected to nature.
I am absolutely certain this region will move and surprise you as much as it did me. A rugged, wild, and untamed landscape. It’s the land of great contrasts. As Paul Theroux wrote:
“The Patagonian paradox: tiny flowers in an immense space; to stay here you had to be a miniaturist or be fascinated by the vastness of empty spaces. There was no middle ground. Either the vastness of the desert or the gaze on a tiny flower. In Patagonia, you had to choose between the microscopic and the immense.”
And that is exactly what I call the heart of Patagonia — the northwest of Santa Cruz.
