PLAN YOUR TRIP TO SOUTH AMERICA
and live the adventure you’ve always dreamed of
I help you turn your ideas into a real, tailor-made itinerary, shaped by firsthand experience and in-depth knowledge of the places you’ll visit.
Specialized in San Pedro de Atacama
and Salar de Uyuni

Beyond aesthetics: understanding landscapes
Terra Nomade is an independent project born from the idea that travelling means trying to get to know the places you encounter on a deeper level, rather than simply collecting destinations.
Every landscape is shaped by natural processes, history, and human presence.
I’m Francesca, a geochemist and the founder of the project. I combine my scientific background with firsthand experience to help you go beyond simply visiting a place, both through my tailor-made itineraries and the in-depth articles on my blog.
How can I help you
Every journey is different.
Choose the level of support that suits you best: from travel consultations and itinerary planning to direct assistance on the ground.
Tailor-Made Itineraries
I create personalized itineraries tailored to your interests, travel style, and the time you have available.
You’ll receive a detailed travel plan with carefully selected destinations, transportation, and experiences, allowing you to book independently while following a clear and well-structured guide.
Travel Consultation
If you already have the time and experience to plan your trip independently but would like guidance to refine your itinerary or clarify any doubts, this service is designed for you.
We’ll look at timing, priorities and different options together to find what works best for you.
Focused support to help you move forward with a clearer plan, built around your needs.
Atacama & Uyuni
If you’re planning a trip to San Pedro de Atacama or the Salar de Uyuni, I can also help with the practical organization of your journey by coordinating local tours and bookings with trusted providers I know personally.
On-the-ground support designed to help you enjoy an authentic experience without spending hours comparing endless options.
About me
After earning a PhD in Earth Sciences, I set off on a journey through South America that brought me to San Pedro de Atacama, a place I chose to call home. It was here that my personal and professional journey began to take a different direction.
Here, I turned my knowledge and my way of travelling into a project: Terra Nomade.
Through my blog and services, I help travelers understand, plan, and experience South America in a more conscious way.
