Zürich, Switzerland · Photography & Tours
Professional photographer based in Switzerland. Weddings, portraits, events, gastronomy — and unforgettable tours through the most beautiful country in Europe.
I'm Gustavo Pacheco — Venezuelan-born photographer living in Schöfflisdorf, Switzerland. My career spans weddings on Colombian beaches, photojournalism at major football tournaments, commercial gastronomy shoots, and portrait sessions for professionals and families across the Zurich region.
I also run photography tours through Switzerland's most iconic and hidden places. I understand what it means to discover a new country — because I did it myself. Whether you live here or just arrived, I'll show you Switzerland through eyes that are both local and forever curious.
From intimate portraits to large events — professional photography for people who live in and love Switzerland.
Guided tours through Switzerland's most photogenic cities and landscapes. In Spanish, English, French or German. For tourists and locals who want to rediscover where they live.
Weddings, events, cityscapes, portraits, gastronomy — a photographer without borders.
Travel stories, photography tips, Swiss hidden gems and Latin American adventures — written by someone who lives between two worlds.
After dozens of tours, I've noticed that most visitors see the same three spots. Here's what they miss — and why these places make better photos anyway.
"Photography is the art of making someone feel that they were there — even when they weren't."
I was born in Venezuela, where I worked for over a decade as a photojournalist, graphic reporter, and human rights defender — documenting one of Latin America's most complex realities. In 2016 I left, camera in hand, and rebuilt my life in Colombia.
In Colombia I photographed the professional football league, guided treks to the Lost City in the Sierra Nevada, led expeditions through the Guajira desert, and ran an event center with photography exhibitions, concerts, and DJ shows. I worked in English, French and Spanish — and fell in love with the power of telling stories across cultures.
Two years ago I moved to Switzerland with my family. Today I'm a tour guide and photographer based in the Zürich area — father of two boys (10 and 1), fluent in three languages, and deeply in love with this country I now call home. I'm the guide who also photographs your day while you live it.
From the Lost City jungle trek to Cartagena's colorful streets — exclusive Colombia experiences curated for Swiss residents who want more than a package tour. Guided by someone who knows both worlds.
