Our motivation is to design experiences in nature that people genuinely enjoy, and that hopefully leave them with something more than just great memories. Whether it’s a single day outdoors or a multi-day expedition, we want you to have a great time in some of Chile’s most beautiful landscapes. ChileTraverse was born from that idea.

I’m Andrés Alcayaga, the founder of ChileTraverse, and I’ve spent most of my life exploring Chile. I’m a certified mountain guide with 15 years of experience designing and leading trips across the country, from day hikes near Santiago to expeditions in Patagonia, the Atacama Desert and Antarctica.

My background as an Organizational Psychologist and Coach shapes the way I guide and design experiences. For years I’ve worked with companies on team and leadership development. I was also part of the core team guiding and facilitating outdoor leadership programs for MBA students from the Wharton School. I hold a Master’s in Innovation from Lancaster University and I’m a graduate of NOLS’s Semester in Patagonia.

We believe in respect for nature, in supporting the local communities who call these landscapes home, and in making every day outdoors truly memorable. Our team shares those same values: a love for exploration, care for nature and a constant pursuit of excellence in everything we do.

Designing new experiences is what we love most, whether it’s trekking, mountaineering, ski touring, multi-sport adventures or custom programs. If you have something in mind, we can probably build it.
