Santiago Gomez

Guide: Aconcagua

Santiago was born in the province of Córdoba, known in Argentina for the excellent level of climbing of its natives. From an early age, he fell in love with the mountains, traveling with his parents all along the Cordoba mountains and other mountains of the country. After an intense amateur sports life, he decided to transform his passion into a profession, and entered the School of guides of the Province of Mendoza, birthplace of the best high mountain guides in Argentina. He worked as a porter, crossing the two sides of the Aconcagua hill carrying his back and strengthening his spirit and his body, and when he received a guide began to work guiding expeditions. With 16 seasons in Aconcagua Park and more than 50 expeditions, he is a veteran in the new generations of local mountaineers, with a privileged mountain resume. In addition to all the above, in his spare time on the basecamps he defies anyone who wants to play chess, since in his adolescence he was a national champion.
