Our Journey
Our modified camper vans are both comfortable and functional. And we know this from experience, from our own journey. Light Travelers was born in 2017, when our founders Christopher and Maria made a shift in their lives and decided to leave their native Chile and venture out to California for a fresh start and a new perspective.
They combined Christopher’s experience in housebuilding and engineering with Maria’s family heritage of a long-standing tradition in the high-quality furniture business and decided to revamp a Mercedes Benz Sprinter van and make it their new home for beach getaways and adventure escapes.

Building the first van was the beginning of what would later become Light Travelers. In the early days, Christopher and Maria dedicated to fully customized vans, offering clients tailor-made models to satisfy their unique take on the outdoor life. This experience led to the design of the pre-engineered Atacama and Patagonia models, inspired by Chile’s northernmost and southernmost landscapes of desert and mountains, to cater to a broad audience of adventurers.
Built Vans
Over five years of experience and more than 40+ vans built have provided the necessary R+D experience to develop state-of-the-art innovations, such as the signature Bed Lift, and a complete line of accessories especially designed for the MercedesBenz Sprinter van and the outdoor life needs. Based in Huntington Beach, CA, Light Travelers specializes in high-quality craftsmanship, delivering a sleek look and a polished finish, for a stylish and durable vehicle that is both fully equipped for the outdoors and the comfort and enjoyment of staying in.
