Most of our guests who have travelled to Puerto Natales and the world famous Torres del Paine National Park would have met Benjamin, our resident Patagonian trekking guide. He is an avid mountaineer and cyclist, and has spent 12 months on an unsupported cycling expedition from South Africa to Egypt. During the winter months, Benjamin can be found in his second home, Singapore, with his wife and daughter guiding on lesser known trails and enjoying his favourite street food.

Hector, also known as Chino, grew up in Puerto Edén, the only village deep in the Patagonian fjords. With his expertise and love of the sea and mountains, he is our go-to person for everything we do in the waters surrounding Puerto Natales.

Mariano has spent the last decade guiding in the mountains around San Pedro de Atacama, and he is our expert in northern Chile. His favourite excursion is the hike up the volcano Zapaleri, unique because its summit is the tripoint of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. Amongst his countless adventures, Mariano led an expedition to Licancabur volcano, during which a team member set the record for the longest dive in its crater lake at 5,900 metres above sea level!

Xin Xin is a global nomad, having lived in Switzerland, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates before becoming the only Singaporean living in Puerto Natales. She manages the logistics of all our Patagonian adventures from September to April. Xin Xin loves epic high altitude treks, and is a finisher of the world famous 24-day Snowman Trek in Bhutan.
