Ignacio Bustamante
founder and director of Río Manso Expediciones, was born and raised in Bariloche, where he took his first steps in different activities and sports that today we are able to offer you.
Motivated by his father, who took him horse riding in the mountain range ever since he was a child, he has ventured many times, so much with horses as by foot, in bicycle and in kayak, to the Manso river and its valley, acquiring a precise knowledge of the area and starting a great friendship with the villagers of these remote places of both Argentina and Chile.
Born a skier, he traveled around the world representing Argentina in the World Cup and the Winter Olympics, in the "bumps" discipline. He also participated in paragliding and mountain bike competitions.
In 1995 he left the ski competitions in order to devote himself to tourism and adventure trips, combining his sportsman experience acquired during many years of competitions and his deep knowledge of the area, to create this Company that today is Rio Manso Expediciones.
