Starting as a porter, Santiago traversed both sides of Aconcagua, gaining strength and resilience. Upon earning his guide certification, he began leading expeditions. With over 16 seasons in Aconcagua Park and more than 50 successful expeditions, he is a seasoned veteran among local mountaineers, with an impressive track record.

“Excellent company in all aspects of the mountain. I was amazed by their logistics, camps, food and the quality and quantity of guides. We had two guides up to base camp, then three up to Nido de Condores, and four on our summit day with a group size of eight climbers! So there’s always a guide to take you up if others climbers need to descend on summit day”
