Our Founder

Hello! My name is Luisana and I am originally from Venezuela. I am a Civil Engineer and Urban Planner by profession. Entrepreneur by nature, innovative and enthusiastic. My passion is to serve and live the city through the senses. I am deeply committed to the empowerment of women and emerging leaders, as well as the human and sustainable development of communities. My passion is serving communities and living spaces through the senses. I really enjoy nature and the outdoor activities, especially hiking, camping, and paddle boarding. I also have fun reading, writing, taking pictures and trying handicrafts.

Huellas Latinas

I currently lead Huellas Latinas as Founder and Executive Director. Huellas Latinas has allowed me to inspire the creation of a vibrant, engaged, and empowered outdoor community. I guide a wide range of outdoor activities year-round. I hold a certification in Wilderness First AID, Archery instructor, and as a Forest Therapy guide, in addition to other skills and over 15 years of experience working directly with communities.

Building Memories

The best way to get to know a place is to experience it through its public and natural spaces, understanding its culture and discovering the secrets behind its history. Outdoor activities became my best ally in discovering my new home, Minnesota. In addition, they are perfect for maintaining my physical, mental and emotional health while I get to know new places, new people and build meaningful memories.

I feel fortunate to be able to communicate and share with you the knowledge and experiences that I am acquiring in each adventure. I hope that this initiative will serve to create a community among those of us who share the same interests and that it will also inspire you to recognize the human side of places.

I want to teach you to live spaces through the senses and hopefully inspire you to live your own adventures.
