Marcos Araya
Marcos ‘Cacu’ Araya started playing on his family farm in Coronel Suarez. He travelled with his father to the US where he also got the opportunity to play his first kids tournament in Palm Beach Polo Club. He also played the Copa Potrillos in Argentina. At the time they were the only two tournaments for young players but Cacu was lucky to come from a polo family who let him play with the grown ups from a young age.
On finishing school he dedicated his time to polo and began playing professionally in Italy, Thailand, Malaysia, China, Dubai, Spain and many other countries.

His most memorable moment was winning the Copa Republica and the Intercollegiate in Argentina and also representing his country in China where they won the international tournament.

Cacu is very proud of the many tournaments he has played with Nacho Gonzalez, whether they have won or lost, the friendship they have formed has been his greatest gift from polo to date.

In 2023 Cacu won the Cartier Queens Cup with Murus Sanctus Polo Team.
