A self-described forever student and Wisconsin native, Jamie has traveled extensively throughout the world, and especially in Oceania. Some of her favorite recent experiences have been leading lava tube hikes on the Big Island of Hawaii, participating in an Alaska NOLS course, touring the Amazon in Brazil with their river dolphin conservation team (ARDCF), working with a horseback/camping outfit in Wyoming and guiding all over Kauai. She looks forward to meeting her future fellow explorers and making lifetime memories together!

For this adventure we will have a trekking guide ratio of one guide to every seven travelers. Our trekking guides are experts in all things related to our destinations and carry the appropriate qualifications to backpack and hike in the Chile’s Aysén mountains. They are here to provide an authentic trekking experience while ensuring safety is a priority. They are deeply knowledgeable with respect to local cultures, customs and history and is passionate about sharing that with all of us. They are our interpreter, local host and introduce us to the local way of life.

In addition to our trip leader and trekking guides, this adventure is supported by porters who will assist in carrying our group gear.

This exclusive Chile adventure was developed in partnership with Backpacker magazine. True wilderness. Epic exploration. Deep backcountry. Cultural immersion. Together, we’ve scoured the earth for hidden gems to explore the trails less traveled, and to be stewards of the lands we travel through and of the trails we take.
