VITTORIO VALDES CORÓN, Naturalista /  Expert Guide for all of CHILE

​Vittorio Valdes is a Renaissance Man among Chilean Mineros. He is a lifelong resident of Calama, Chile with many stories to tell for it.  He is a land man and water expert and knows the Atacama like few others. He is a member of Desert Natural Resources  and understands the nexus of  land, water, mining, and indigenous customs. He is often relied on as an expert guide across the northern El Loa Province that hosts the world's two largest veins of copper. He  has been a Municipal Delegate for the town of Sierra Gorda,  neighboring mine base camp servicing the Sierra Gorda Mine owned by KMGH Mining of Poland and Sumitomo of Japan. 

Vittorio has been outspoken about the insertion of a unified aqueduct system for El Loa Province via resurrection of an historical lost road, once the main road from Cobija on the coast to Calama high in the Andres. Cobija, the town, was lost to a c. 1900 tsunami, once a major port.  Vittorio has well research and designed a project, ¨Cobija Road¨and has lobbied extensively for this much needed project and creative design solution to be adopted as a solution to multiple issues of inequity and environmental risk to agriculture and cultural tourism wrought by the mining industry. And innovator, Vittorio is still hopeful his research and work can be implemented as a tourist only road for hikers and bikers so as to bring more tourism into Calama that was the world´s largest oasis city in a desert -- prior to 20th century mining.  His goal is to see Calama´s tourism and agriculture be restored back to parity with mining that unwittingly continues to play havoc with ecosystems and indigenous Indian cultures, including Pre-Colombian archeology, geoglyphs and cemetaries. 

Vittorio has pursued Interdisciplinary Studies in Psychology, Vocalization, Set Design, Corporal Expression and Songwriting. He is author of "Thousand Poems in a Song" (2005) poetry; "The Second Abyss" (2006) work of civic and social character; "Kara-Hama" (2006) work of descriptiveness of the city of Calama; "Lickantacsi" (2007) work of descriptiveness of San Pedro de Atacama; "CHUQUI - Kamac" (2007) descriptive work of Chuquicamata mine; "Legend of Clan Valdés" (2012) a novel; "Mental Strength" (2014).   He is of Italian decent and sings his own songs while also performing as a restaurateur.
