IFMGA · Mountain Guide
I'm a passionate climber and mountaineer since 1984. My professional journey began as a National Mountain Instructor in Mendoza in 1990. 
In order to further enhance my skills, I also pursued a degree as a Medical Doctor at Universidad Nacional de Cuyo. 
In 2007, I achieved yet another milestone by becoming an IFMGA Mountain Guide. Because of this, I'm now the only guide in South America with both qualifications so far.
Aconcagua has become a second home for me, since I've summited it 50 times (and counting), and it is the place where I also work as a doctor. 
During low seasons, I'm a mountain guide instructor at the IFMGA and the AAGM in Argentina. I'm also a full member of the UIAA Medical Commission, the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation.
Nowadays, I guide in Latin America and Europe, while also giving technical courses in mountain medicine, climbing, mountaineering, ice climbing, etc.
