Continuing with her career, in 2006 she assumed the position of assistant manager and excursions manager at Hotel Awasi Atacama, and then continued to grow professionally and accepted the challenge of leading the excursions department and assistant manager at Hotel Tierra Atacama. Finally, her outstanding career led her to become hotel manager at Hotel Tierra Patagonia in 2013.
“We are very happy to welcome someone like Paula Valdés to the management of our hotel, we hope that her experience in the field will allow us to continue growing as a sustainable tourism proposal here in Torres del Paine. We extend a warm welcome to Paula,” commented the general manager of Las Torres Patagonia, Josian Yaksic.
