Surf the Andes delivered the best days of my (snowboarding) life! Jack was the ultimate guide you could ask for, a Nevados de Chillan local, guided us for the first three days of our trip. This insider knowledge of the secret stashes, the tree lines and the bowls in the alpine set us up for the rest of our trip.

So glad we booked with Jack! In Nevados de Chillan, he took us to incredible terrain we would have never found on our own. At the coast we visited some really nice fishing villages and had fresh ceviche. His cultural and historic knowledge made the trip really interesting and special.

I loved all the different kinds of empanadas, drank local wine, we visited markets for fresh goods, and relaxed around the fireplace planning for the next day. If you want to snowboard the Andes over summer, I truly recommend.
“Jack's cabin is nothing short of magical. The space is charmingly rustic, quiet and cozy, making it the perfect place to hang out after an adventure-filled day. You'll be a very short drive away from some amazing mountains, hot springs and restaurants. Jack has a wealth of knowledge about the area and is an amazing host - cant recommend this place enough.”
