I founded Trails of Chile, a boutique tour operator, in 2006. Before that, I worked in Chile for 8 years, gaining experience as a travel agent and sales manager, and launching one of the country’s first boutique hotels. It was my clients who ultimately encouraged me to start my own business; they believed in my vision, and I am deeply grateful to those who trusted a young German woman making her way in Chile. To this day, I am proud to say that those clients continue to work with us. In 2014 my husband Milo took over the operation part of the company.
From the beginning, our mission has been to share the most authentic and conscious side of Chile through tailor-made trips designed around each traveller’s unique wishes, always looking to exceed their expectations. After nearly 30 years living in Chile, I am never ceasing to be amazed by the country’s natural beauty. Chile is a magnificent playground that allows us to create unique experiences where travellers can be as active and involved as they wish.
We are a team dedicated to excellence. We provide the best in accommodation, exploration, and most importantly, guiding, with a deep commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism. Over the years, we have built a network of trusted partners who share our vision: to preserve Chile’s pristine landscapes by providing the highest quality service. In short, we are passionate about what we do.
