Angel Gutierrez

Since I was a kid, all I've been thinking about is traveling the world, I finished University, worked for 1 year, saved money, and started my life as a Digital Nomad which allowed me to live and travel through 17 Different Countries. Now I Live between Chile My Home Country and Ecuador my wife's home country and I am Lucky to Work helping other travelers to come here and visit the region of the world I love the most, South America!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"The Atacama Desert, Uyuni, Santiago, and surroundings, "Carretera Austral", Pucon, Valdivia, Patagonia, Buenos Aires, Iguazu, Lima, Machu Picchu and the Galapagos Islands
Private Tours, Shared Tours, Extreme Sports, Hiking, Diving, Biking, Astronomical Tours, and Navigation Activities."

How did you get involved in travel?

"All my most precious memories are old Family Trips, since I was a kid I have loved traveling. I know that going on a trip is one of the best things that can happen to a human being, that's why I started at a young age to organize trips for my family and friends. when I grew I decided to Study something related to travel, so I studied Tourism & Hospitality which opened many doors to start working in this fantastic industry where I have been part of a work team in Hotels, Travel Agencies, and also as a Tour Guide. It has been a beautiful ride!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Back in 2019, I had a Trip planned To Canada and USA, it was a road trip from Toronto to Miami. Before flying to Canada I had a 3 -day layover in Peru to meet some friends and family. As the universe works in a mysterious way I lost my flight from Peru to Canada so I stayed in Peru, here I decided to visit Machu Pichu. A week after that I flew to Cusco where I met the Love of my life and had an incredible trip! One of the best of my life. For sure I won't forget this, traveling has given me so much in this life. "

The Valle de Maipo (Maipo Valley) is a rich wine-producing region in central Chile. The great thing about this hotbed of viniculture is that it lies just a few minutes from the capital of Santiago, so it's easily accessible on a day trip. This tour covers the history of wine and the almost...

Hotel Boutique 17
Valparaíso

We very much enjoyed our accommodations at Hotel Boutique 17. It is in a lovely neighborhood that is a UNESCO site because of the architecture.and street art. The staff was very friendly and the gentleman at the front desk were helpful in making recommendations for restaurants and shops. The hotel restaurant has a lovely patio looking out to the ocean with beautiful vines and flowers. We had drinks and appetizers there both nights which were very nice. Breakfast menu is included and while limited, was tasty. Our rooms were contemporary and comfortable. The only thing that may be challenging for some is there is no elevator and there are many stairs to navigate.

We had such enjoyable experiences on our trip to Chile with our family and cousins spending the first 8 days in Santiago attending the 2023 Parapan Am Games to watch our son and his team 🇨🇦 athletes compete and medal in Goalball 💕and touring around an amazing city. From there we coordinated 6 days of tours and transfers with Angel and greatly appreciated the personalized service he provided us with from boating out to see the Penguins in Zapallar, visiting the Vina Del Mar beaches, watching a beautiful sunset (thanks to Alex) as well as Sandboarding on the Dunes in Concon, next we visited Valparaiso with Magdalena on an awesome food and wine oriented Gastronomic tour. We then ventured on our first ever Traditional Cooking class with Sebastian that we so very much enjoyed and also fit in a wine tour in the Casablanca Valley that also included lunch. And last but not least have rave reviews for Eduardo our driver who was fantastic and as we made our way back to Santiago enjoyed a few stops including to check out a 1.4km (I believe) pool that is oceanfront and to another locale (the name escapes me) for a fantastic lunch and some last minute shopping in the village shops!

Thanks so very much Angel, Eduardo, Alex, Magdalena, Sebastian (and his sous chef) for creating such awesome experiences for us to remember for years to come!!

The wine tasting tour seemed too commercialized. Also, did the wine tasting as the second part of the tour instead of the last. It was nice to see the ghost in the cellar. It seemed the tour focused on the house and garden rather than the winery. If it weren't for the other tourists in the group, this would have been a 1 star.

A lot of historical value and it was nice to taste different wines during the tour instead of at the end. I bought two wines. Bahai was a good experience. A lot of tranquility there.

I'm glad everything went as planned and you are happy with our help :)
I am sure this experience will stay with you and Kelly for a long time
If you plan to visit Ecuador or Peru I would be happy to help you plan a new trip, it could be the Galapagos which is one of my favorites, or the Amazon which is another whole world!

Thanks for trusting us with this adventure!
Best,
Angel
