Hello, my name is Camilo and I have been a tour guide since 2018. Apart from Valparaíso, I have also lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina for a year and Brazil for 2 years, so I like to share with people from different places in the world to learn and also teach what you know, which for me is the essence of the tour to discover, exchange and learn.
