Good afternoon, everyone!! My name is Catherine, I live in Santiago, Chile for 9 years and have been a guide for over 8 years. My specialization is guided tours of Santiago, as well as day tours on the coast (120 km from Santiago) in Valparaiso and Viño del Mar, also conducting a tour of San Antonio/Cartagena/Isla Negra with the house-museum of Pablo Neruda, or Zapayar/Papudo/Maitencio/Con. These tours can be combined and spend 2-3 wonderful days on the Pacific coast.

If you like more active rest, rest in nature, in the mountains, at your service a tour to Cajon del Maipo, this is the area near the Andes near Santiago (about 60 km), where the canyon of the Maipo mountain river is located, there are horseback riding, canopies (flight through the gorge), walks to waterfalls, rafting, excursions to the heart of the Andes to the Valle Nevado ski resort or the Portillo ski resort with a beautiful lagoon, they are at an altitude of about 3.000 m. In the Andes there are national parks with beautiful nature, where one-day tours are also offered.

If you are a wine connoisseur, then Chile will offer you a huge selection of this drink. All Chilean wineries are located in the Central Valley, and Santiago is in its center, so it is surrounded by grape farms on all sides. The Central Valley offers wineries in the valleys of Casablanca, Maipo and Colchagua for 1-2 days or in distant valleys such as Curico, Maule up to 7 days.

All these tours are also suitable for tourists who arrive in Valparaiso (or from Valparaiso begins the journey) on cruise ships. If you are starting from Valparaiso, I recommend you fly to Santiago a few days earlier and visit Santiago, the surrounding area and one or two regions of Chile where your ship does not land. And if you finish, then for a while to stay in this amazing country.

I also work with groups in Chile as a guide/interpreter/tourist. Organize and accompany tourist groups on tours from 3 to 20 days to one or more regions - to the Atacama Desert, it always pleasantly surprises tourists with its diversity and unearthly beauty, to the small north - the cities of La Serena, the valley of the Elqui River, to the Lake District and Patagonia, all regions of Chile are very diverse and amazingly beautiful.

I assist in the development of the tour, purchase tickets for domestic flights, work as a guide/interpreter in Chile.

I can offer themed tours, for example, gastronomic, wine, extreme, etc. on request.

A car tour of Chile is currently in development, write if you are interested.
