Marcelo began his career as a naturalist and birdwatcher at the age of 22. After finishing his studies in tourism in Buenos Aires, he moved to Tierra del Fuego in 1991. Since then, he has explored every corner of the island and built up a wealth of knowledge about its unique wildlife. He has developed a special ability to find any species of bird, even the rarest ones. He can also list the names of nearly every living creature that inhabits the Magellanic forests, steppes, high mountains or sea shores of Tierra del Fuego, and cooperates with the National Park Administration for the development of a sustainable tourism strategy. He lives in Ushuaia with his wife, Paula, and his baby daughter, Maria Catalina.
