Born and raised in Santiago de Chile, Guillermo discovered his love for nature, art, and sports at a young age. Coming from a mixed background of Chilean, Peruvian and Spanish family, he constantly visited Peru, where he later went to live. He traveled from the coast to the rainforest, venturing in between into many of the hidden gems in the Andes. He came to know the cultural richness of the locals and neighboring countries where he learned to appreciate the variety of realities. His fondness for exploring led him to live in Cusco where he loved writing, mountain biking/hiking, guiding and photographing while being a school tutor and an entrepreneur of a restaurant in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

Always in a constant search for knowledge and fulfillment, he has experienced a wide range of employment opportunities including being a television journalist, publicist, certified business consultant, EQ workshop facilitator, teacher, ski instructor in Vermont and more.

He currently lives in Arequipa with his wife and two children, working in their permaculture system. He recently started venturing into ceramics, an infinite and ever-present art for almost every culture, that just like human minds, utterly absorbs his attention. Guillermo also enjoys life through yoga, reading, playing music, fire pits, gardening, connecting with people, and helping to create possibilities for a fulfilling, meaningful planet.
