Gabriel Chocron

It’s hard to find anyone in Ushuaia who doesn’t know Gabi. Founding Freestyle Hostel in 2005 and Alto Andino Hotel in 2007 with his family, Gabi has lived on Tierra del Fuego since 1982. He has worked in tourism and hotels on the island his entire adult life, except the years at university in Mar del Plata studying finance and accounting. Always sporting a smile, Gabi’s favorite part of the business is people– getting to know clients from all over the world– and sharing his home with them. Gabi is dedicated to operations and logistics in Ushuaia, handling passenger services in the port, and he specializes in giving you a personalized and in-depth experience while in Ushuaia, Patagonia and Antarctica. He has visited Antarctica multiple times aboard different ships, as well as sailing to Cape Horn & the Chilean fjords. Gabi is a licensed zodiac driver and trilingual (Spanish, English & Portuguese). On the weekends, you can find Gabi coaching or playing rugby at a local club, or fly fishing with his friends in the mountains.
