What people are saying about Soledad

A beautiful experience to cerro López- Piedra de Asterix! From before the trekking: Sole's suggestions for the weather conditions; during: a lot of empathy and patience with the limitations of the group members, encouragement and good vibes; then at the López refuge we shared beautiful moments with delicious food and a wood stove! Thank you! 🫶🏽

Sole is a gentle, caring, and joyful person who just loves the mountains. It was a delight to experience Patagonia with her.
