01Puma Tracking Tour Torres del Paine
We depart at 4:00 AM from Puerto Natales, driving approximately two hours toward the eastern sector of the park to arrive at first light, when pumas are most active. Upon entering Torres del Paine National Park, we focus on key wildlife corridors around Lago Sarmiento, Laguna Amarga, and Laguna Azul - areas known for consistent sightings due to the presence of guanacos.
Throughout the morning, we reposition strategically based on fresh tracks, radio communication between local trackers, and recent activity reports. Short walks may be included to access better vantage points, always respecting park regulations and wildlife safety guidelines. Along the way, there are also opportunities to observe other native species such as foxes, condors, and rheas, while enjoying spectacular views of the Paine Massif at sunrise.
The experience lasts approximately 8-9 hours, with a flexible pace depending on wildlife movement. We typically return to Puerto Natales in the early afternoon, carrying with us not just photographs, but a deeper understanding of Patagonia's remarkable natural balance.
