Jorge Salas,...raised in Loreto,
is a lead guide for some of the trips, and a partner in our local
outfitting company, Loreto Kayak Tours. In 1997 he graduated from
R.A.R.E., a natural history training institute, and went on to
receive a Baja Guide Scholarship from the National Outdoor
Leadership School (NOLS). He has taught kayaking, hiking, mountain
biking, and natural history and is highly trained in all aspects
of trip leadership. Jorge's professional and friendly attitude
always keeps us smiling. |

Nadia Beaulieu...
came to work for us in 1999 as a highly
recommended guide from a Canadian paddling
company. We’ve found that Nadia
has the many skills needed to offer guests
a safe, fun, and rewarding tour along
the coast of Baja. Plant life of the peninsula
and a general overview of the natural
history are Nadia’s fortes as she
teaches you about the region. In the summer
season she works as chef for a Canadian
fishing lodge. Guests consistently praise
the excellent meals on tour with Nadia! |

Itza Missuet is a young woman from Colima, Mexico
who has worked outdoors on adventure tours on land and sea. She came to
work with us in Baja California in 2008 and has been a steady assistant
on our tours. Great in the camp kitchen and in the kayaks, Itza has been
honing her English speaking skills by beginning to teach the basics of
kayak camping and has also paddled a bit in Canada. She is excited to
return to Baja for this next season. |

Antonio Hernandez
.... a local, born and raised in Loreto is guide, equipment manger
and business partner in Loreto Kayak Tours. We have had a great
time watching Antonio take to the water and the guiding life.
Excelling in sports and studying sports education he has
transferred his skills to the coast and mountains of his
hometown and now works as leader on kayak and bike tours.
Antonio's enthusiasm is inspiring and his sense of humor is
infectious. |

Santiago Berrueta Villa...
is back for another season! With his background in marine biology,
conservation study, tour leader, and kayaking for organizations
in mainland Mexico and the US, we've always received highest
compliments for his professional and fun style. Santiago is
excited to work in Baja and the Gulf of California again this
year. Skilled languages, logistics and planning, he's a
welcome addition to the team. |

Ramon Alvarado...
a great new compañero for us for the upcoming
season, Ramon will be assisting and leading tours plus helping
out with the in-town chores. He grew up in the small community
of Mulegé and began his outdoor adventure skills with the
NOLS México branch. He worked for 5 years as NOLS town
staff in Baja and Alaska while developing kayak and leadership
knowledge. Ramon is also a NOLS kayak instructor. We're very
excited to have you meet him on our trips! |

Jesus (Chuy) Baeza...
is the backbone of our in-town staff. Chuy works as logistics
planner, driver, and on the many details around our equipment
area. |

Trudi Angell...has been paddling and exploring
the coast of Baja since 1976. Now living in Loreto, Trudi leads a
few kayak trips each season and most of the mountain pack trips.
Her main focus recently has been riding mules with her daughter,
Olivia, along the length of the Baja peninsula following the
historical routes of El Camino Real. |
 |
Olivia Angell is a great link between the cultures
and languages when she joins a group. Having grown up in Loreto and
graduating from high school here, she is now studying marine biology
at the La Paz university. Mexican folkloric dance has been a passion
since age 5, and her mom is thrilled to have a totally bilingual and
bicultural daughter. Olivia has ridden mules over 1000 miles in Baja
and kayaked several hundred as well – so she is ready to share fun and
unique stories of outback life on the peninsula. |
