Roberto was born in Cutal-Có (“fire´s stream” according to Mapuche´s language) in Neuquén province, north Patagonian steppe, only at two hours drive from the Andes. He deeply feels that this big portion of land, with all its diversity of landscapes, it´s part of his being. In 2001 Roberto moved to Bariloche, to live between lakes and mountains and study to become a Mountain Guide. After finishing his degree he begun gaining experience guiding trekking, horseback riding and mountain biking at Isla Victoria Lodge in Nahuel Huapi National Park. Life eventually took him further South towards Los Glaciares National Park, where Roberto worked four seasons at EOLO Patagonia´s Spirit – Relais & Chateaux as birdwatching, hiking and horse back riding guide.
Finally, with Manuela, his life partner, decided to settle back in Bariloche, where they are building their home in Circuito Chico area. They both live with their two dogs.
Roberto’s second biggest passion is landscape and macro photography, we works as a freelance photographer and designed a site where you can enjoy his art: www.patagoniafugaz.com
His guiding style is much appreciated by us since he mixes all his knowledge on geology, flora, fauna and local culture during his guiding.
