Nómada Chile
Born from the passion for nature and adventure sports.
I’m Deborah Fuentes, Chilean adventure tourism guide. After 10 years chasing summers and working in different rivers around the world, the dream of Nómada Chile emerged with the idea of showing the pristine nature of southern Chile through fluvial experiences, transmitting enthusiasm, passion for rivers and for the nature; all this with respect, safely and away from mass tourism.
Thanks to the experience acquired throughout these intense years of exploration, Nómada Chile was born today in the Los Lagos Region.
