Get To Know Me

Nico

An excursion to Guillard Glacier from the Skorpios III cruise

I’m currently based in La Serena, Chile but spent two unforgettable years living and working in Torres del Paine. After that, I became a flight attendant, travelling between Punta Arenas, Antarctica, and Puerto Williams, which only deepened my appreciation for these extraordinary landscapes.

I’ve also worked in operations and customer service within the tourism industry, always maintaining a close link to Patagonia—a place that captured my heart from the very first moment.

I love travelling, discovering new adventures, and meeting people from all walks of life. These experiences are so enriching—they teach you lessons and create memories you carry with you forever. For me, that’s what makes every journey truly special.

My Top 5 Patagonia Experiences

  1. The Glaciers (and dolphins!) on the Skorpios III Cruise: Sailing through the Patagonian fjords was nothing short of magical. Seeing Amalia and El Brujo up close, with their towering walls of blue ice, left me in absolute awe.
  2. The French Valley in Torres del Paine: Trekking through the French Valley was unforgettable. The jagged peaks and surreal silence between the sounds of nature made it feel alive. It’s a place where the landscape speaks to you.
  3. Nevado Tres Cruces National Park: Exploring here felt like stepping into another world. The bright lagoons, surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes, were so vibrant they didn’t feel real. It’s a place that stays with you long after you leave.
  4. The Pedernales Salt Flat: Walking across the Pedernales Salt Flat was an almost meditative experience. The endless stretches of white salt under a perfect blue sky made me feel like I was floating somewhere between earth and sky.
  5. Cerro El Plomo: This was one of the most challenging and rewarding things I’ve done. The high-altitude ascent pushed me to my limits, but standing on the summit, surrounded by the endless Andes, was a moment I’ll never forget.
