His contributions include co-authoring the landmark study “Geositios de la región Aysén” ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365646454_Libro_Geositios_de_la_region_Aysen) —the first regional-scale geosite inventory in the country—as well as a series of geological guides such as the “Guía – Circuito geológico de la ciudad de Coyhaique”  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366154344_Guia_-_Circuito_geologico_de_la_ciudad_de_Coyhaique) and the “Guía interpretativa de la geología del Salto del río Ibáñez” ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/366154434_Guia_interpretativa_de_la_geologia_del_Salto_del_rio_Ibanez). He also played a key role in the 2014 Istmo de Ofqui scientific expedition (link), providing vital geological insights.

Felipe’s academic work includes his thesis “Geoconservation in the Exploradores and Leones Valleys” (https://www.pichimahuida.org/geomorphology_files/Tesis_Geoconservacion%20_en_los_valles_exploradores.Image.Marked.pdf ), a pioneering project focused on assessing and preserving the geological heritage of Northern Patagonia’s ice fields. Additionally, he has contributed to the development of geoconservation strategies for Chile’s Ministry of Mining in the Aysén Region, notably through his paper “Programa de Geoconservación de la Seremi de Minería de la Región de Aysén: Propuesta de Categorías Geológicas Temáticas” ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/329576403_PROGRAMA_DE_GEOCONSERVACION_DE_LA_SEREMI_DE_MINERIA_DE_LA_REGION_DE_AYSEN_PROPUESTA_DE_CATEGORIAS_GEOLOGICAS_TEMATICAS).

A seasoned field expert, Felipe combines deep scientific knowledge with a passion for education and exploration. Tour participants will benefit from his rare ability to bring the hidden stories of the landscape to lifegrounded in science, enriched by experience.
