Araucanía Roots

If you are looking for someone who truly has the mountains in his blood, you need to meet Felipe. Born in Temuco, in the heart of the Araucanía region, his connection to nature isn't something he learned from books—it’s a way of life he has embraced since day one. Felipe’s passion has a very special origin: his father. As a member of a specialized mountain unit of the Chilean Police, his father was the first person to inspire Felipe’s love for the heights. From him, he inherited not only a deep respect for the environment but also the discipline and sense of service that he brings to every person he leads today.


He is a guide who has enriched his perspective through international experience. After finishing school, he sought new horizons in Canada, where he worked at ski resorts and completed his first formal mountain course. That experience abroad was the spark that convinced him to dedicate his life professionally to the mountains. In 2013, he returned to Chile with a clear goal: to turn his passion into his profession. Since then, he has focused on perfecting his craft, earning his certification as a mountain guide in Chile and accumulating over a decade of experience leading safe, engaging, and professional expeditions.


With Felipe, you won’t just climb a mountain; you’ll discover the stories hidden within every landscape. Whether you are looking to explore the majestic volcanoes of the south or the high peaks of the central or northern mountain range, Felipe has the experience and heart to lead the way.
