Camila Fierro

Traveling is my passion, and I believe in sharing what you love with the world!
Originally from Ecuador, a small but diverse country, I made it my mission since I was a little girl to explore its nature, culture, and everything in between. This sparked a deeper desire to travel, and I began looking out for unique experiences at every corner of the planet.
Traveling trough South America filled my heart, and now, I’m excited to share the beauty and warmth of this incredible region with other travelers and show you all it has to offer!

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"If you can dream it, you can do it. From the driest desert in the world to the distant Patagonia, and the mysterious Easter Island, anything is possible. And how about we combine it with places like the Uyuni Salt Flats, the Iguazu Falls, or Machu Picchu?
I love planning trips for all kinds of travelers—whether it's couples, families, solo adventurers, those looking to relax, those eager to immerse in local culture, nature lovers, adventure fans, or foodies. Anything that you are looking for, we can make it happen!
"

How did you get involved in travel?

"Many of my best memories with family and friends are from when we were traveling. I clearly remember the first time my dad took me to visit a museum when I was a child. Our guide was incredible and showed me that the world was so much more than I had imagined. From that moment on, I wanted to have their job and help others discover the treasure we had. That led me to study Historical and Cultural Tourism at university, an unforgettable experience where I had the chance to live a thousand different roles—from being a tourist, a tour guide, and a trip planner, to even playing the role of historian at times!"

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"Over the past few years, I've collected many travel memories, both solo and with friends, but there's one place I always look back on with so much warmth. I was in university when I traveled with my friends to the Cuyabeno Reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. I was going through a tough time, questioning a lot in my life. That day, we lost all contact with the outside world and visited Laguna Grande. The sunset we saw there was the most breathtaking I’ve ever seen—it made me appreciate just how beautiful life is and how lucky we are to experience moments like that. Whenever things get tough, I remember that moment and keep going."

Hike to the Base of the Paine Massif

One of the most popular hiking routes in all of Torres del Paine National Park is to the lookout at Base Torres, which sits at the foot of the iconic triple peaks of the Paine Massif. Although it can be completed in less than a day, this hike is strenuous and requires a good level of physical...

Viña del Mar & Valparaiso Excursion

About an hour and a half west of Chile's capital of Santiago lie two incredible neighboring cities: Viña del Mar and Valparaiso. These places are as different atmospherically as they are close in proximity. The first stop is Viña del Mar, an upscale coastal resort city teeming with shopping...

Atacama Desert: Lagoons & Salt Flats

This full-day excursion includes visits to some of the most incredible natural wonders in the Atacama Desert. The first destination is Laguna Chaxa, a desert oasis lagoon located 50 km (31 miles) from the town of San Pedro de Atacama. Chaxa is situated in the middle of the Atacama Salar salt...

Iguazú Falls - Argentine Side

The famous Iguazú Falls, located at the tri-borders of Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, are split into two parts: the Brazilian side and the Argentine side. The latter is a much larger section of the falls and comprises the protected area of Iguazú National Park. There are three circuit routes...

Camila was very responsive, checking in with us almost on a daily basis and sometimes more often than that.
When problems arose with our Atacama portion of the trip she attempted to deal with our local tour operator Ckamuria Agency as best she could. The local provider in San Pedro de Atacama was either incompetent or lazy and one afternoon's activities were canceled due to lying about road conditions. We did obtain a refund for the tour to the Lagoons but I was very disappointed by missing this tour and alternative tours such as bicycling in 90 heat were absurd.

However, we realized that in our attempt to see as much as we could in Chile we tried to pack in too much in a short window. We lost days traveling and a more careful review of our tour with better oversight of our flight plans would have been appreciated. Perhaps she or Tamir (Who we spoke to by Zoom call once and never again) could have been more forthright in assessing what we were trying to accomplish in our travels.

The Hotel Jirah in San Pedro de Atacama was clean but tired with a poor breakfast. I suggest it not be used in the future.
We didn't think that Punto Arenas was worth a stop over and we wish we could have gone direction to Puerto Natales.
Penguins were cute but we had seen them in Argentina and the city itself did not offer much. We much enjoyed Valparaiso and a wine tour but found Vina del Mar boring and the restaurant recommended in the tour underwhelming. I would have preferred the option of more wine tasting and no Vina Del Mar.

Our guide in Patagonia, Nachogonia "Nacho" Lysis Casanova was remarkably knowledgeable and experienced and I would strongly recommend him. On the other hand, our guide in Rapa Nui was lovely but her English could have been better and in comparison to other guides we overheard leading other tour groups her knowledge base was just so-so.
