“ In just over a six year period, we have done five trips with Jorge and have committed to a sixth next year. We must like this guy! Jorge is THE guide for your Patagonia adventures…and beyond!
Our first trip with Jorge in 2010 was for backcountry skiing around Bariloche, Argentina. While we were temporarily weathered out of higher terrain due to high avalanche danger from tons of new snow, we never lacked for fun, challenging, and noteworthy alternatives. He shared with us his hometown stashes, something only a generous local guide could do.
In 2011 we skied Antarctica with Jorge. A trip of a lifetime to be sure. Jorge himself had guided there previously so he was extremely knowledgeable about what to expect. He shares our love of skiing and adventure. We were typically the first zodiac out in the morning and the last to come in. If you ski one place, why not watch killer whales from the skin track and or have a standing audience of penguins as you ski down to the water.
In 2012, we asked Jorge if he could customize a trip to Fitz Roy, based out of El Chalten. To ski in the shadow of the Fitz Roy massif had been an idea of ours for a few years. Again, Jorge’s local Patagonia knowledge, his strong relationships with proprietors, and his eye for worthy ski objectives combined for a seamless and memorable experience.
In 2014, we joined Jorge in Iceland. Jorge’s ski mountaineering knowledge extends well beyond Patagonia! Iceland has a great diversity of ski options, great summits from the car with descents down to the ocean and long hours of daylight for extended or multiple objectives. As we were joined with another guide and clients, Jorge easily worked twice as hard to ensure each and every client was satisfied with the trip meeting their expectations. In addition to being a certified ski guide extraordinaire, his people skills, sincerity and professionalism combine for a guaranteed great adventure.
In 2015 we road tripped with Jorge to several volcanoes in Chile. Jorge works tirelessly to ensure his clients are enjoying the adventure, including the apres ski which meant many a hot spring or hot tub. Again, his local knowledge and familiarity with the local proprietors made for a culturally rich and authentic experience.
Jorge is a consummate mountain guide. He is completely client focused. He is a first rate professional. We trust his judgement, thrill in his ski adventures, and have been blessed to enjoy the beautiful outdoors around the world with him.”
