GETTING HERE
You can easily arrive at Punta Arenas (PUQ), Puerto Natales (PNT) or El Calafate (FTE) from every major city in South America. Please note that these are suggested routes: our packages do not include travel fares.
Overview
The Patagonia Puma (Puma concolor) is the second largest cat in the Americas. These remarkable and powerful creatures hunt and travel all across the Patagonian Steppes. Their vast hunting grounds and elusive nature make consistently finding them a challenge.
We work with experienced puma tracking experts to find these magnificent creatures in their natural environment. Our tour adapts to the geography and seasonal challenges of this wild and untamed region.
Our traditional tracking methods and local expertise mean that we can bring you close to these majestic creatures in their own habitat.
Our puma expedition follows a rough guideline. Each day is spent with a dedicated puma tracker who works with the expedition guide to locate pumas in a variety of behaviours and terrains. As you photograph a puma, the tracker will move on to find another puma and new photo opportunities for you to experience.
A day on our expedition usually looks like this:
The time in between sightings is fully customisable to your interests, especially in the longer Spring and Summer days. We can search for other local species to complete your portfolio, or discover new experiences.
If you have no specific preference, we will create an itinerary of local natural highlights.
While your days will be spent out in the wild hunting grounds of the puma, your nights deserve comfort.
We know that a day of adventure is best followed by an evening of relaxation, and so we collaborate with several local high-end hotels to deliver you the best accommodation on your tour. Like our ever-adapting tour schedule, we have selected different hotels to complement each season – each chosen for their quality and location.
