Marcela Huidobro
I am deeply connected to nature and in love with the scenic wonders of Chile. I enjoy every outdoor experience such as hiking through towering forests, gazing at majestic mountains, and listening to the flow of a river.
Chile is a unique place where you can visit a ski resort up in the Andes Mountains and watch the sunset at the Pacific Ocean on the same day. Or enjoy the magic of the driest desert in the world and the next day gaze at the glaciers of the Southern Ice field.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I have visited Chile from up North in Putre down to Cape Horn. My favorite locations are Torres del Paine, the glaciers and the Atacama Desert.
I will be glad to help you design a customized itinerary that meets your needs and interests, including the best wine tours, trekking through ancient forest, all combined with local culture and traditions."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I love to see how visitors admire and enjoy Chile's culture and attractions.
Sharing my knowledge and the beauty of my country with other tourists is a rewarding experience. It's a great way to foster cultural exchange and create lasting memories for every client."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I had the opportunity of spending some days at an Estancia in Tierra del Fuego, sharing the farmers activities with sheep. We were surrounded by uninhabited land, Lenga forest, and guanacos. The daily menu was lamb in every possible culinary preparation. A place and moment I treasure as a unique and one-off experience."

We had a wonderful trip to Chile. Our agent, Marcela, crafted an exceptional itinerary—she listened carefully to our wishes and adapted plans seamlessly when changes arose.
The Atacama Desert was breathtaking, and our guides, Rodrigo and JP, were incredibly knowledgeable about the region’s geology, history, and Andean wildlife. Rapa Nui was unforgettable; learning about the Moai and the Birdman competition brought the island’s rich history to life. In the Colchagua Valley, we enjoyed sampling outstanding wines amid stunning scenery, which was the perfect way to round out the journey.
I want to compliment Marcela for her excellen...
