Solana Carrera

My connection to tourism began in the vast landscapes and traditions of the Córdoba countryside, where I grew up. Being surrounded by nature and authentic local culture from an early age shaped my appreciation for meaningful travel experiences.
Having explored Argentina and other destinations across the Americas since childhood, I developed a deep curiosity about the power of travel to connect people and places. Through academic exchange programs, I also gained experience in tourism logistics and MICE events in both Argentina and the United States.
Today, I’m passionate about designing memorable journeys that allow travelers to discover the true essence of each destination.

We integrate a full range of travel services to create seamless, comprehensive itineraries — particularly for multi-country journeys that showcase the highlights of South America’s southernmost regions."

How did you get involved in travel?

"I became interested in travel thanks to my family, who have always loved exploring new places. I’ve been traveling since I was two years old, which sparked a natural curiosity about different cultures, landscapes, and ways of life.
Over time, that curiosity grew into a passion for the travel industry. I’m especially inspired by the opportunity to create meaningful and memorable experiences for others while continuously learning about the world and the incredible diversity it offers."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One travel experience I will never forget was visiting San Martín de los Andes with my parents. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking — endless mountains, crystal-clear lakes, and pristine forests that felt almost untouched.
There was something truly magical about being surrounded by such pure nature. The air felt incredibly fresh, the scenery looked like something out of a dream, and every moment invited you to slow down and simply take it all in."

Buenos Aires was the number 1 highlight of the tour. The Dinner Tango Show, The City Tour,The Sherpa Food Tour and the Ombu de Areco Ranch with the asado and dancers,were very good. Number 2 on the tour for me was The Puerto Iguazu Falls. This was much more impressive than Niagara Falls. I loved The location of La Reserva Virgin Lodge which is in the heart of the forest, that was very nice. Number 3 on the tour was Salta. Driving 2.5 miles up the mountain to the Salinas Grandes salt flats was interesting but not very exciting. Number 4 on the tour was the Cafayate Excursion a drive in the country side looking at prehistoric rock formations and then going to a winery for some wine tasting. It's unfortunate that I do not remember the names of the guides but if this is any consolation, they were all excellent!

The places I visited in Patagonia were great. The tours that I booked were average. I searched out a few additional tours that were with smaller groups and more unusual excursions. I wish I had been offered more choices from the start. Read more
