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.

She has a small family and loves spending time with them.
