Born and raised in Punta Arenas, Maca has built her professional career inspired by Patagonia. She spent ten years living and working in Torres del Paine, an experience that gave her a broad perspective of the hospitality industry. Working across a variety of roles, she developed a deep appreciation for creating memorable experiences through genuine, personalized service.

For the past eleven years, she has been part of ALE, where she brings her experience, dedication, and genuine passion for sharing the essence of Chile's southernmost region with every guest who visits this remarkable destination.

Outside of work, Maca finds inspiration in nature. Hiking and horseback riding are an essential part of her life, allowing her to reconnect with what matters most. She also enjoys reading, watching films, and spending time with friends over a glass of wine or a gin and tonic. For her, these simple moments reflect the privilege of living and working in one of the world's most extraordinary places.

Antonia joined the team in the 2023 season and works as an Outfitter Manager, helping with the clothing, laundry, and logistics that keep the season moving behind the scenes. What she enjoys most about her work is the amazing team, the energy of the season, and the feeling that every day brings something different.

I am a professional with over 30 years of experience in administrative and document management. I spent 29 years with the Chilean Air Force, where I specialized in document management and Safety Management Systems (SMS) within highly regulated aviation environments. I also hold professional driving licenses (classes A-2 and A-4) and certifications from the DGAC in Operational Safety and Environment, Defensive Driving, Dangerous Goods, SMS, and Aviation Accident Investigation.
Since 2022, I have served as the SMS Manager and have been responsible for the administrative and document management of the Risk Prevention Department. I live with my family in the commune of Limache, in the Valparaíso Region; I value camaraderie and sports—particularly tennis, cycling, and outdoor activities. I consider myself a responsible, respectful, and loyal person with a strong commitment to teamwork.

My name is Diego De la Cruz, and I have over 10 years of experience in the tourism industry. I studied Ecotourism Management, which gave me a strong foundation in sustainable tourism and visitor experience. Throughout my career, I have worked as a tour guide in two of Chile’s most iconic destinations: Patagonia and the Atacama Desert. Having the opportunity to work in Antarctic tourism has been a true privilege. I fell in love with this extraordinary place and feel incredibly grateful to have shared its unique beauty with travelers from around the world. Outside of work, I am passionate about mountaineering and love spending time in the mountains with my family. As a Guest Liaison, I especially enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds who come to Antarctica to pursue their goals and be part of such a unique experience.
