About us

WHO ARE WE?

Terra Chile is a receptive travel agency based in Valparaiso, on the Pacific coast, 120 km from Santiago, Chile’s capital.

It’s part of the Terra Group, a network of agencies working throughout South America, Southern Africa and Oceania. Created in 1998 by a few friends thirsty for adventure, the Terra Group counts today more than 15 agencies across the globe. 

MEET OUR TEAM!

Meet “el equipo Terra Chile”! We are an original mix of travelers and adventurers. Some of us can’t get enough of luxury hotels, others would rather spend the night in mountain shelters. Some fell in love with the Patagonian glaciers, others with the deserts and salt flats. All of us enjoy the life in Valparaiso, picturesque town looking over the ocean. We love and know all Chile’s secrets and are more than happy to share our experience.
Let us introduce ourselves.

 

CATHY

 

After working for more than ten years in tourism and events management in Europe, Cathy took a major step and moved to Bolivia, country that she knows backwards and forwards since she spent 7 years there, creating personalized tours. Her adventure continues in Latin America, in Chile this time, where she has taken over Terra Chile’s management. She will share her knowledge and passion for South America and travelling.
 

 

 

 

CAMILLE

Camille’s taste for travelling and cultures of the world came from her studies in anthropology. After obtaining a degree in tourism and travelling through Europe and Canada, she discovered a passion for the wild lands of the north and became a “Polar Regions” travel designer. She created tailor-made tours in Iceland, Finland and Greenland. In 2012, Camille flew to Chile and landed in the very southern Punta Arenas. She returned to her urban life in 2013 when she joined Terra Chile in Valparaiso. As she crossed the country form north to south with clients or during field trips, she fell for the Easter Island. It was love at first sight! This island of 165 kmshe thought was so small, has plenty of things to offer: activities, landscapes and archeological sites. Make sure you contact her, she will make your stay unforgettable!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

MAUD

Travelling has been part of her life since she was young. It was thus naturally that Maud found her way in studying tourism. She took advantage of a last internship in her second year of Master to spend 8 months discovering Australia, while working for a receptive agency. As soon as she had come back to France, she was already thinking about setting off for new adventures but first she had to get a degree and save a little bit of money. She took her suitcase out again a year later, and left for Canada, where she first settled in Vancouver before crossing the country from west to east in a van. She unpacked her bags in Montreal, Quebec, where she spent two years working for another receptive agency. She returned home for three years, and after a few getaways to Cuba or Costa Rica, an old dream returned to the surface: settling in a Latin American country. Terra Chile made her dream come true and she joined the team in Valparaiso, ready to tell you all about Chile’s wonders.
 
 

 

SEBASTIEN

Sébastien brings a Belgian touch to the team. After studying finances and working as a consultant, he found his way in tourism with a desire to share his passion for travelling. After spending a few months in France working for a tour operator specialized in trekking, he decided to take the leap and go work abroad. After four months spent discovering the Andes of Peru, the salars and lagoons of Bolivia and the extremely diverse landscapes of Chile, he moved to Valparaiso and joined the team of Terra Chile. Whether you are dreaming of a luxury hotel in San Pedro de Atacama or Patagonia or of doing the famous W trek in Torres del Paine National Park, he will be able to advise you and create the tour that best suits you.
