Hometown: Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego

Experience: I am "El Gato" Curuchet, musher, breeder and owner Valle de Lobos (Valley of Wolfs) - Akeeata, a center of breeding and training of sled dogs. I have 70 Alaskan Huskies and i have been working with short and long distance excursions with tourism for more than 25 years. I have crossed the Patagonian Southern Ice Field and ran Iditarod in 2001, becoming the 1st South American musher to participate. I have done several crossing in Tierra del Fuego and Patagonia, worked with winter sled dog schools and worked for about 7 years with visually impaired.

I am thinking of creating a program to start an exchange/internship with handlers and mushers from other regions of the world to learn and teach other generations of mushers. The internship would also include housing and food, a salary depending of experience and the possibility of running a mid distance race here in Patagonia. I am always open to suggestions and comments. My web site is: http://www.valledelobos.com/
