On The Trail of the Puma [Starting from P.Natales]

The puma is the largest feline in Chile and inhabits nearly all of the Americas—from Alaska and northern Canada all the way down to southern Chile and Argentina. On this excursion led by wildlife photographer Miguel Fuentealba, we aim to observe and photograph the puma in its natural habitat responsibly, without disturbing its daily activities and always respecting its space and timing.
The puma is a wild animal living freely in Torres del Paine. The experience of tracking and searching for it will be unforgettable and is highly likely, though there is always a chance of not spotting or capturing the “perfect” photo. To improve your chances, we recommend a minimum of 3 days.
Torres del Paine National Park is a protected area with established trails and viewpoints where our search takes place. Our staff strictly follow park rules and ensure that travelers do the same.
The excursion starts very early at dawn, with exact times depending on the season. The total duration is approximately 18 hours when starting from Puerto Natales. This experience is available year-round, with start and end times varying by season.
Pick-up is from your accommodation at the agreed time to begin the day in Torres del Paine before sunrise. The search is mainly conducted by vehicle, with occasional easy hikes on public and authorized trails.
Around midday, there is a break to eat and rest. After 3 to 4 hours, the search resumes and continues until sunset. Along the way, guides will share breathtaking landscapes and introduce various bird and mammal species found in the area.
