Barbara Avalos
Barbara Avalos
My name is Barbara and I've been working as a Professional tour guide for over 20 years.
Ever since I was a teenager I've wanted to be a tour guide. I love meeting new people and being able to share part of my culture and history.
I studied in Buenos Aires and graduated as a Tour guide in the year 2000.
After doing a Masters degree in Spain I came back to Argentina and decided I didn't want to live in a big city anymore.
So I prepared my luggage and moved to Ushuaia in 2002.
I soon started working for local companies and after a few years I was hired by Grand Circle Travel, a company based in Boston, to work as a trip leader taking American groups to Antarctica and Patagonia. After 2 years, I stopped traveling to become a mom so I kept working as a freelance local guide in Ushuaia, that means I´ve been a local guide here for 18 years!
Last year, I re started my job as trip leader and I was able to go to Antarctica once again.
As this years has been very difficult for the whole travel industry, I decided to start offering live virtual tours of my beautiful city, not only as a job but mostly to show Ushuaia and to encourage travelers to visit us once possible.

Loved the Antarctica tour. Seniors thought it was very informative and that they learned a lot. Liked how the presenter showed maps and photos from the boat and the way they got from the boat to the land etc. Made the group feel like they were along for the ride.

My group loved the Antarctica tour. The geography portion at the beginning was very educational and good to put it all in perspective. The format of going on the trip like you were on a tour was very creative and the videos of the penguins were amazing.

As good as it gets. Barbara did her homework and took us on a very good tour of Antarctica and taught us a lot about penguins.

This was the best Beeyonder trip I have done out of the seven completed to date. Barbara Avalos is a very good guide and her presentations are very professional. You can tell she has really researched her material and she was able to answer every question. Barbara is also very friendly and her English is excellent. I highly recommend this tour

As usual Barbara presented a very well researched, interesting tour in a very well organized format. Her years in the tour business are obvious in that she is very engaging with her group. The geography of the areas and the information presented about the penguins was fascinating!! Cant recommend this tour enough! Well done. Mike G
