IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE PUMA
The search is part of the experience.
A private puma tracking experience in Torres del Paine, shaped by wildlife, patience and the freedom to follow where the search leads.
BE PART OF THE SEARCH
Finding a puma begins long before seeing one.
We look for tracks and signs, read the landscape and observe the wildlife around us. Every clue helps us decide where to go, when to move and when simply to wait.
There is no fixed route to follow. The search changes with the weather, the season and the animals themselves.
And you are not just along for the ride. We share what we see, what we notice and why we make each decision, so you can experience the search as part of it.
A WILD ENCOUNTER
Wildlife sets the terms.
The pumas we search for are wild and free. There are no guarantees of where they will be, what they will do or whether they will choose to reveal themselves at all.
That uncertainty is part of what makes every encounter meaningful.
We search with patience, keep respectful distances and let the animals' behaviour guide us.
We cannot promise a puma. We can promise a genuine search.
HOW THE DAY UNFOLDS
No two searches follow the same path.
Our days usually begin early, when wildlife is most active and Patagonia is just beginning to wake.
From there, we follow the signs. We scan the landscape, observe the movement of wildlife and explore different areas of Torres del Paine and its surroundings, adapting the search as conditions change.
There may be long periods of observation, quiet waits, short walks or sudden changes of direction. Sometimes we follow a fresh track. Sometimes another animal catches our attention. Sometimes the weather changes the plan entirely.
There is no checklist to complete and nowhere we need to rush to.
The day unfolds according to what nature gives us.

GIVE THE SEARCH TIME.
One day can bring an unforgettable encounter. Two days give nature more time to reveal itself.
Pumas are wild, conditions change and every day tells a different story. Spending more than one day with us gives the search more possibilities — and more time to experience the landscape, light and wildlife along the way.
For this reason, we recommend a minimum of two days for puma tracking.
