Xabier Etxarri: a man of many unexpected layers
This year Chile's Torres del Paine National Park celebrates its 60th anniversary, and few people know the Park in more detail than Pura Aventura's co-founder Xabier Etxarri. Indeed, it was while hiking in the Torres del Paine in the mid-1990s that the idea of starting a specialist tour operator first took place. Today, Xabier continues to take Pura customers to some of the Park's lesser-known corners and is the author of the Park's manual used to train new guides.
For comments from Xabier on the Torres del Paine and on the challenges it faces from over-tourism, please get in touch.
