She is the manager of the project, and designer of the concept of our experience. Moreover she is also a passionate guide and storyteller who knows and loves our skies and the Llaullipata forest. Not only that, but she surely has a gift to tell stories, which provides a very special touch for this unique and exciting experience

Our charismatic and enthusiastic bilingual guide who, with his youth and passion, provides energy and freshness to the experience. He will share his knowledge (perhaps with the aid of a new app), and every night will spread the thrill of learning more about the constellations and the skies. By the way, he is also a very gifted musician.

Born in Argentina, he joins our stellar team with the purpose of sharing his knowledge of stars, comets, and so on. Like all of our crew members he is convinced that this is the best job one could have. He will show the sky with the same enthusiasm as if it was the first time! Fernando is also committed in the development of alternative aducation and is also a member of our crew as blogger for our website.

He is the man of a thousand crafts, from the Fortaleza community, located near the area; he is the support that makes the “engine” work. His biggest talent, tough, is the telescope managing, he will locate distant objects in the sky with the help of the telescope and fix any trouble in no time. A remarkable memory for star names, distances, and astronomic data.
