About this tour


This puma safari begins very early, with pick-up at your accommodation in Puerto Natales between 5:00 and 5:30 a.m. From there, we will travel by vehicle for approximately two hours to reach Torres del Paine National Park, one of the most iconic destinations in Patagonia.

The activity is conducted in the company of specialized guides and a puma tracker, who will strategically decide the routes to follow based on recent sightings and areas with the highest concentration of these felines. This flexible option allows you to explore less-traveled trails, always striving to maintain a low impact on the natural environment. During the hike, you will practice tracking and observation, searching for the imposing Patagonian puma, one of the great symbols of wildlife in Chile. These animals, though elusive, roam freely throughout much of the park, making each outing a unique opportunity to connect with nature and witness unforgettable scenes of wildlife. The tour not only offers the chance to spot pumas, but also to contemplate spectacular landscapes and learn more about the park's ecosystems, always with a responsible and conservation-oriented approach. At the end of this experience of profound connection with the fauna and landscapes of Patagonia, we will return to Puerto Natales, with drop-off at your accommodation.

Frequently asked questions

The best time to go puma watching in Puerto Natales is during the fall and winter, primarily from April to September. During these months, there are fewer tourists, increasing the chances of observing these cats in their natural habitat.

However, excursions are planned to increase the chances, visiting areas frequented by these felines. The guides base their knowledge on pumas' behavior and activity patterns to optimize the opportunity to spot them. In addition to puma watching, you can appreciate other emblematic species of the region, enriching the experience of the tour through the beautiful Patagonian landscape.
