Puma Tracking and Wildlife Photography

Arrive Torres Del Paine

Arrive at Punta Arenas airport where you are met and transferred to Torres del Paine National Park. Depending on your arrival time, you may enjoy a leisurely tour of the national park, where you can admire the jaw dropping beauty of the snow-capped peaks, glacial blue lakes and get a glimpse of the first signs of wildlife – the guanaco, the favourite food of the elusive puma.

Puma tracking and wildlife watching

The trackers keep us informed of any sightings by radio. Meanwhile, you enjoy photographing the sunrise while enjoying breakfast and hot coffee on the go. Most days begin close to camp, in the park’s eastern sector, taking advantage of the stunning morning light and any animal activity. You will spend approximately six hours viewing and photographing the native wildlife of the park. You are likely to observe culpeo foxes, the mighty Andean condor, guanacos, and we hope to view the puma and the endangered huemul (South Andean deer). In the afternoons, after the peak sun hours and little wildlife activity, you may head to the western parts of the park. Here you have the opportunity to capture some of the more iconic landmarks such as Grey’s Glacier and The Horns while waiting for news from the trackers. Watch the sun setting over the Paine Massif before returning to camp.

Depart Torres del Paine

Today is your last day of wildlife photography in Torres del Paine National Park. Once again, the trackers head out well before the group and after an early breakfast you head out for a final morning in search of the elusive puma. After a final few hours in the park, you head back to camp for you final lunch before being transferred back to Punta Arenas in time for your onward travel arrangements.
