Who we are

For the first time Chile cast a spell over the native German during a voluntary service in Santiago in 2004. And he found his familiar happiness here. Thus, Valparaíso became the center of his life between 2015 and 2021. Here, Moritz is impressed by the magnificent panoramas from the colorful hills of the port city to the sea and the snow-covered mountains on the horizon. Apart from his former home, he is deeply touched by Cerro Provincia near Santiago and the harmony of the rustic Huerquehue National Park near Pucón. Moritz is Managing Director of Chile Central and attends to clients in his function as Destination Expert from Leipzig. With his previous professional experience in the social sector, sustainable and solidarity-based tourism is extremely important to him.

Natalia, sister in law of Moritz, comes from Santiago and currently lives in Madrid, from where she carries out her meticulous work as Travel Organizer of Chile Central. In cooperation with our local and sustainably oriented partners, she brings our clients closer to the incredible geography of Chile, which is as diverse as extreme. On her frequent visits to Chile, she is constantly overwhelmed by the charm of the colonial and artistic districts of the capital surrounded by the imposing Cordillera. For Natalia, the Atacama Region with its immeasurable salt lakes at dizzying heights, the hot geysers at the touching dawn and the unreal colors of the desert stand for themselves. Her commitment results from the deep desire to give our guests an authentic impression of the spectacular end of the world.

Macarena is the newest member of Chile Central. She has been supporting the team in organizing our trips since April 2024. Her work focuses on booking accommodation, coordinating guided excursions and arranging airport transfers. She lives in Santiago de Chile and loves to wind down after work in the Andes valley of Cajón del Maipo, just outside the capital. Likewise, she is inspired by the power of the ocean off the rural coastal village of Matanzas. In her work, she sees herself as a host who wants to enable our international travelers to discover the diversity of Chilean sceneries. She is guided by the basic idea that the appreciation of nature must always be in harmony with local resources.

When Fernanda, wife of Moritz, moved from Chile to Germany at the age of 26 for the first time, she realized how unique it is to welcome the gigantic Andes on her own doorstep. After numerous years in Münster and Valparaíso, Leipzig is the new home of the graduated social worker. Her ideal place for a time-out are the high dunes of Concón, which stand out like a desert landscape amid the surrounding urbanity. And the favorite destination of Fernanda is the beautiful Maule River, where the historic Buscarril train route runs to the Pacific Ocean. Fernanda advises the team in the background with her external perspective and her experience as a Chilean in Germany. If there are any bottlenecks, she helps out with the travel organization. She puts great emphasis on ensuring that our guests feel at home in terms of safety and comfort – or even better.
