Chocho was disqualified at the 2010 South American Cup, but managed 31st at the 2010 IAAF World Race Walking Cup. He debuted over the 50 km walk distance that October and set a time of 3:54:42 hours in Congers, New York. The 2011 season saw Chocho reach new heights in his career.

He rebounded with a near-personal best of 1:22:18 hours to take eighth at Rio Maior's Grande Premio Internacional en Marcha Atletica. That June he broke the South American record for the 20,000 m walk at the 2011 South American Championships in Athletics, winning the gold medal in a time of 1:20:23.8 hours. He followed this with a bronze medal performance at the 2011 Summer Universiade.
