Mariana Guichaquelén Ampuero

Secretary. Mariana, born and raised in Chiloé, went to university in Santiago and graduated with a degree in fashion design. After a few years in the big city, Mariana couldn't resist the pull of magical Chiloé, and so she returned to live and work in Ancud. Mariana loves enjoying the little things in life - like the peacefulness of the Chilote countryside, the many beaches here on the island, and delicious food. She has a small family and loves spending time with them.
