Puma Safari Near Torres del Paine National Park

To ensure we maximise our time with the Pumas in Torres del Paine we include a night on arrival in Punta Arenas. This also allows our client taking part in our small group Jaguar Safari to have the incredible opportunity of photographing the two largest wild cats on the continent. Overnight at Hotel Jose Nogueira

After an early breakfast, we will transfer 4 hours by road north to Cerro Castillo, which is the last town before entering the world famous Torres del Paine National Park. We will book into a quality mid-range hotel (all meals included), which provides access to some of the best Puma habitat in the world. It is important to note that puma tracking was stopped inside the park itself because it was not controllable and could have been harmful to both the big cats themselves and visitors who did not obey park rules. By taking a Puma safari with a renowned guide and photographer we ensure that we follow an ethical approach and maximise our full days out for wildlife photography.

You can expect very early mornings and depending on the time of year several late evenings, as we make use of our local trackers and specialist equipment (such as thermal binoculars) to pin point the location of individual Pumas or females with cubs. We will always listen carefully to the advice from our expert guide about how we approach these beautiful cats and what is a respectful distance to photograph them from.

This Puma wildlife holiday is not just about the cats, there are many other beautiful animals to observe and photograph, including, Guanaco, Grey Fox, Red Fox, Haired Armadillo, Hognose Skunk, European Hare, Condor and Chilean Flamingo.

We have booked the same hotel for our guests in Punta Arenas but we can also include extensions within both Chile and Argentina (costs to be advised). The world famous Perito Moreno Glacier in Argentina is located just across the border from our Estancia at Torrres del Paine and of course there is world glass hiking in the park itself. We can also look at flights to the Falkland Islands for a truely unique and wild extension.
