The story behind Patagonia Blueprint

I am Karina Tort

Trekking guide, ski instructor, and business engineer.

I grew up in Santiago, surrounded by an urban rhythm and structures that never quite felt like my own. After studying Business, at 21 I decided to leave everything behind and travel south without a plan. I arrived in Patagonia as a backpacker, and that is where I truly found myself.

After more than 15 years guiding and collaborating with different companies across Patagonia, I realized it was time to unite my two worlds: my background in business and strategy, and my life on the ground.

That is how Patagonia Blueprint was born, a proposal to design tailor-made journeys with purpose, awareness, and excellence.

We are not a conventional agency. We represent a different way of traveling, rooted in authenticity, discernment, and genuine connection.

Among mountains, volcanoes, and snow, I found another place to call home.

During the winter months, I live in the Araucanía Region, where I work as a ski instructor and explore the volcanoes, forests, and lakes of southern Chile.

Here, I discovered a new way to show the world a different side of the country: temperate rainforests, active volcanoes, rivers, lakes, and a vibrant Mapuche culture. That is why Patagonia Blueprint also designs journeys in the Araucanía Region, guided by the same hallmark as all our trips: authentic, tailor-made experiences deeply connected to nature and the local community.

Our philosophy is to travel with purpose and connect with the essence.

Each itinerary I design invites you to experience the south from within: its rhythms, its silence, and its people. It is not just about seeing landscapes, but about experiencing Patagonia with all five senses.

My goal is for every traveler to take home more than photographs: a deep, genuine, and transformative experience.
