Born and raised in Bariloche, a major Andean town in northern Patagonia, and now living in El Chaltén, I guess you can call me a Patagonian local.
I'm a passionate mountain climber and obsessed with conditions, weather forecasts and climbing in general. I've been climbing around Chaltén since 2014 and can proudly say to have summited both Cerro Fitz Roy and Cerro Torre in the past years.
I've also been guiding in the area since 2017. The biggest feather on my cap is probably having guided Cerro Fitz Roy via the Californian route in 2024 and pioneering an alternate, safer descent line with my guest.

Mati is a wonderful guide! He was able to assess my abilities very quickly and make sure the experiences fit well for me. I learned a lot of new information during my experiences about the areas, safety, and different techniques. I would definitely work with him again in the future.

Mati is a great certified mountain and climbing guide, as well as a great person. Beyond guiding me on a Patagonian mountain ascent, he helped me realize my dream of completing my journey in Los Glaciares National Park with an unforgettable climb of Cerro Solo. During the climb I always felt safe, Matias has very deep knowledge of mountaineering and climbing, and he knows the rugged terrain pretty well. I was also able to learn a lot about mountaineering, Mati was always willing to share his knowledge. Thanks for this adventure!
