You must be prepared to hike. The terrain is mostly rolling hills and sage brush. There are times we may go on a “puma trek”, where we walk with the pumas, sometimes for several miles, up and down hills. There are times a brisk pace will be necessary. Guests need to be prepared to quickly pick up camera gear and move, when necessary.

Every day and every trip is different. It is hard to predict how much hiking will be required or how difficult it might be.

There will be virtually NO photography from the vehicles. Some hiking is required for every sighting.

If you have any concerned about the physical requirements, please discuss this with us before deciding if this is the right trip for you.

Most puma tours in Patagonia operate within Torres del Paine National Park, where strict regulations prohibit off-trail hiking and require all wildlife viewing to take place from designated roads or trails. As a result, many tours are limited to spotting pumas from a distance—sometimes far from the action.

Our tour is different. We have exclusive access to private land adjacent to Torres del Paine, where only a select few permits are issued each day. Here, we can walk freely in breathtaking landscapes, tracking and photographing pumas up close—an experience simply not possible inside the national park.

When choosing a puma photography tour, it’s important to know where and how the experience will take place. Some tours may advertise intimate encounters but operate primarily from roadways within the national park. With us, you’ll step into the wild and immerse yourself in the puma’s world, guided by experts who understand their behavior and habitat.

This is your chance to experience one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters on Earth—walking alongside Patagonia’s apex predator in its natural environment.
