A trip committed to watch and photograph Puma (Mountain Lion or Cougar) in the remote and stunning Patagonian wilderness of Chile\u2019s Torres del Paine National Park and the adjacent Ranch Laguna Amarga. Join our expert local naturalist guides and puma trackers, in the best place in the world for watching this magnificent and inspiring predator of the Andes.\r\n\r\nFrequently praised by visitors as one of the most beautiful and majestic wild places in the planet, declared as the World\u2019s 8th natural wonder, Torres del Paine National Park is a remote refuge of life where wildlife is normally quite tame and it\u2019s not rare to see relaxed and inquisitive guanacos, foxes and other animals at close quarters; seeing the lone hunter that dwells in the vast and barren hills, the mighty Puma, is something else.\r\n\r\nThis expedition has been geared to seek out, contemplate and photograph this big and elegant cat in one the wildest places throughout its entire range in the American Continent. We have pioneered puma tours here in Patagonia, and have always worked by our strict environmental ethos and in permanent contact with the park authorities and ranchers, as the wildlife welfare is our first and foremost concern.\r\n\r\nAt the ranch Estancia Laguna Amarga, we are one of the few selected operators to work inside this property and search for puma along the grounds of this magnificent private area, adjacent to the park and now, entirely committed to Puma conservation. Estancia Laguna Amarga is where we devote most of our efforts to look and photograph Patagonian Pumas.\r\n\r\nPatagonian pumas, especially around Torres del Paine, are the largest race of the species in the Americas. With an uncommon higher density rate, this national Park and surroundings have become the most sought-after places to watch and photograph wild pumas on Earth. This is mainly due to the stable growing of Guanaco populations in the Patagonian steppes, and the protection that Puma has been granted in the past years.\r\n\r\nJoin us on this quest, to discover the wildlife of Torres del Paine and one of its most secretive and yet most awe-inspiring inhabitants.","what_to_expect":{"travel_style":"","lodging_level":["Comfortable"],"transportation_level":["High"],"physical_rating":"","what_to_expect_misc":""},"what_not_to_expect":null,"who_is_it_for":null,"who_is_it_not_for":null,"pre_sale_info":"","tour_recommendations":"We will have the support of a 4\u00d74 vehicle to move inside the ranch but we can also have easy to moderate walks, so a minimum degree of fitness is required in order to be able to keep up with the group. Topography is usually not too demanding but there might be differences in altitude of around 50-250m \/ 160-1,000ft sometimes, although your group will walk at a slow and gentle pace. Maximum elevation during this trip will be 300m\/1,000ft above sea level. You must be able to carry your own gear. If this is difficult for you, we ask you to coordinate this in advance with your guide in order to arrange some help. Our company does not provide porters but we are always eager to provide help.\r\n\r\nWe will have packed lunches, snacks and drinks for our field days. Later in the evening, we will have dinner back at our hotel or sometimes inside the park, depending on the daylight hours and the season.\r\n\r\nTo see a female puma and its cubs against this magnificent mountain backdrop and big sky is one of the most magnificent wildlife spectacle in this part of the world. In company of our guide and puma tracker, we will follow pumas at a prudent distance with the help of binoculars and spotting scopes. The approach distance varies but there is a 50-meter (164ft) rule. Sometimes pumas are inquisitive and indulging, being very habituated to the human presence. Those will be our stars but we must respect their space; we must be prepared in advance and bring your longest lenses (400mm +) in order to take advantage of our photographic opportunities. Bringing a tripod or monopod is always recommended; a light-weight carbon-fiber version is always the best option.","related_tours_testimonies":"","display_roadbooks":"radio_button_select_from_article_type","roadbook_article_type":false,"roadbook_featured_post":false,"select_roadbooks_manually":null,"tour_price":4698,"tour_currency":"USD","price_base":3,"room_occupancy":{"single_supplement":"","double_occupancy_discount":""},"minimum_deposit":25,"maximum_group_size":6,"price_scales":{"price_1_pax":"","price_2_pax":"","price_3_to_4_pax":4698,"price_3_to_4_pax_copy":"","price_5_to_6_pax":4698,"price_7_to_8_pax":"","price_10_and_more_pax":"","Price-Per-Person":""},"included":["Accommodation in first class hotels","Meals indicated in the program","Transportation in comfortable vehicles","Tour leader and English speaking guide","Local guides specialized in the region","Entrance Fees"],"not_included":["International flights","Domestic flights","Additional drinks and meals","Tips","Medical insurance","Expenses not specified in the program"],"promotions":"","tour_shout_out":"","spots_left":"","extra_services":"","hotels":[83776],"related_tour_leader_trips":[80909,81133],"departure_dates":[{"next_departure":"20241023"},{"next_departure":"20241206"},{"next_departure":"20250417"},{"next_departure":"20250701"},{"next_departure":"20251023"},{"next_departure":"20251206"}],"partnership":{"partner_name":"","partner_tour_url":""},"itinerary_comments":"","daily_activities":[{"title":"Encuentro en Punta Arenas o Puerto Natales, Chile - Traslado a Torres del Paine","lodging":" Hotel Ovejero Patagonico","display_or_similar":"Yes","meals":["L","D"],"Transport_type":"","transport_duration":"","walking_time":"","description":"Despu\u00e9s de reunirse con su gu\u00eda en su hotel o en el aeropuerto, ser\u00e1 trasladado en un veh\u00edculo privado al pueblo de Cerro Castillo.
