🚶🏽‍♂️Meet the Guides | Oscar Filippi

Every journey has a story. Behind every story, there's a guide who brings the landscape to life.

Oscar has spent years exploring the Puna, discovering its volcanoes, salt flats and remote valleys, yet he still finds himself amazed every time he returns.

For him, guiding is about far more than showing a destination. It's about sharing knowledge, creating genuine connections, and helping travellers experience this extraordinary landscape in a deeper, more meaningful way.

When asked to describe the Puna in just three words, his answer was simple:

✨️Vast. Untamed. Magical.

👉🏼 Swipe to meet Oscar. Each photo...a question and an answer.

This is the first chapter of our Meet the Guides series, where you'll get to know the people behind every Socompa journey.




👉🏼Which place on a Socompa journey is your favourite, and why?

Oscar: "My favourite Socompa journey is the Galán Full Day via Real Grande (Galán Volcano). I love it because it combines some of the most spectacular and remote landscapes in the Puna. Every journey feels like a true expedition, where the vastness of the scenery, the silence and the feeling of exploring an almost untouched place make every experience unique."

👉🏼What's your favourite moment to share with travellers during the journey?

Oscar: "The moments I enjoy the most are those when a genuine connection develops with our travellers. It might be during a picnic surrounded by the vastness of the Puna or over dinner after a long day on the road.
I also love explaining the geology, history or culture of a place and seeing that moment of amazement when someone discovers something completely new. Knowing I've helped them experience the destination in a deeper way is one of the most rewarding parts of my job."

👉🏼Is there a traveller's reaction or story you'll never forget?

Oscar: "One moment has stayed with me for years. We were exploring the Galán Caldera (Galán Volcano) when one of our travellers suddenly burst into tears. I asked if she was alright and what had moved her so deeply. She smiled and said it wasn't one single thing, i

💫(Perhaps) the most extraordinary landscape in the world.

📍 Carachi Pampa, Catamarca, Argentina.

At first glance, it almost doesn't seem real.
A crimson lagoon. A jet-black volcano. A vast white salt flat. All set against the endless blue skies of the Argentine Puna.

✨️Welcome to Carachi Pampa, at over 3,000 metres above sea level.

Its name comes from the Quechua language: carachi refers to a dark colour or blackened surface, while pampa means plain. A fitting name for a landscape watched over by the imposing Volcán Carachi, better known as Volcán Negro, whose perfectly shaped cone rises to more than 5,000 metres and dominates the horizon.

But perhaps the most striking feature is the lagoon.
Its deep red colour isn't an illusion. It's created by microscopic organisms and algae that thrive in its highly saline waters, together with mineral-rich sediments that reflect the intense high-altitude light.

Throughout the day, the colours constantly shift, making the landscape feel almost alive.

Everything here is the result of millions of years of volcanic activity. Ancient eruptions, lava flows and layers of ash gradually shaped one of the most remarkable volcanic landscapes in the Andes, where black lava, white salt and red waters coexist in extraordinary contrast.

It's difficult to explain. Even harder to forget.

Two friends. Two adventurous women. One road across the Argentine Puna.

From the iconic silhouette of the Cono de Arita in Salta, to the extraordinary pink tones surrounding Laguna Carachi Pampa in Catamarca, every stop reveals a new landscape to explore together.

A picnic in the surreal formations of Campo de Piedra Pómez, moments on the road, spontaneous selfies in the truck, and endless horizons stretching across the Andes.

Because some journeys are not only about the places you discover — but also about the people you share them with.

💫Three friends. Three adventurous women. One unforgettable journey.

From the dramatic formations of the Quebrada de las Conchas and the natural amphitheatre carved by wind and time, to the vast silence of the Salar de Antofalla, the road through the Argentine Puna reveals its most powerful contrasts.

They wander through the volcanic landscapes of Laguna Carachi Pampa, cross the surreal formations of the Campo de Piedra Pómez, and reach the remote desert landscapes surrounding Tolar Grande and the striking Desierto del Diablo.

High-altitude deserts, salt flats, and volcanic plateaus.

But above all, a journey shared between friends.
