The team that will accompany you is composed of photographers and naturalists, all of them passionate about wildlife and true specialists of Patagonia.

Luis Bertea R. – Designer, photographer and publisher
Photographer and publisher of books, magazines and regional maps since 1998, Luis is extremely knowledgeable about digital photo development and graphic design software (Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign among others, from a PC or a Mac platform). In the late 90s he became interested in photography, and began to go on outings with Daniel Bruhin W. in Patagonia using analogue cameras. In 2005 he entered the era of digital photography, and has participated as a photographer in research projects related with cetaceans and historical documentation.

Thanks to the passion he puts into his work, he has been invited to photograph places as far apart as India and Antarctica. Luis is fluent in Spanish and English.

Apart from Spanish, he speaks English – learnt during his stay of one year in New Zealand –, French and some German.

Daniel has been publishing postcards, calendars and posters of Patagonia and other places in Chile since 1992. His first book, the result of more than 20 years work, was published in February of 2010 and is dedicated to Patagonia.
