3-Day Puma Safari Torres del Paine – Private Tracking Tour

Departure from Puerto Natales

We’ll begin the day by picking you up at your accommodation in Puerto Natales to kick off our Puma Safari Torres del Paine adventure, traveling along the scenic Route 9.

After approximately 1.5 hours, near the park entrance, we’ll meet up with our trackers. Based on their patrols and current field conditions, they’ll indicate the best meeting point.

Using detailed analysis of guanaco herd movements, scavenger bird activity, and known puma corridors, our team will determine the most promising area to maximize the chance of sightings.

Before heading out, your expert guide will give a short briefing about the day’s plan, safety protocols, and responsible wildlife viewing guidelines.

Observation safari

We’ll spend 6 to 8 hours exploring the most active wildlife areas of the park, focusing on spotting the puma in its natural habitat. We’ll start early, when these majestic predators are most active, navigating the park’s southeastern sector between Laguna Amarga and Lake Nordenskjöld. Along the way, enjoy stunning views of Lake Sarmiento, the Paine Massif, and countless opportunities for breathtaking wildlife and landscape photography.

If a puma is spotted, we’ll make short guided walks to secure a better view—always following park rules and under the close supervision of our expert team.

Lunch break and second session

Midday, we’ll pause for a box lunch at a scenic lookout and take time to rest during the hours of lower puma activity. Later, we’ll continue exploring nearby areas on foot, capturing iconic views of the park’s dramatic landscapes.

Around 2:30 PM, we’ll resume the tracking session, either in the same location or at a new hotspot based on fresh signs identified by our trackers.

Return to Puerto Natales

Around 5:30 PM, we’ll wrap up the day and head back to Puerto Natales, arriving at your accommodation around 7:00 PM.

Exploration in new areas

We’ll pick you up again from your lodging and return to Torres del Paine National Park. Upon arrival, your guide will outline the day’s plan, built on the latest information from our tracking team and the previous day’s results.

Depending on conditions and activity patterns, we may revisit high-probability areas or explore new sectors, adjusting the plan in real time to follow puma movements. These animals are highly nomadic, often covering large distances at night, so adaptability is key.

Exploration and photography

Aboard our vehicle, we’ll set out on a new tracking route through the park’s breathtaking scenery. In addition to pumas, there will be plenty of chances to photograph birds and other wildlife native to the Patagonian steppe.

Throughout the day, your guide will share insights on the region’s geology, plants, animals, and the unique ecosystem of Torres del Paine.

Afternoon session & return to Puerto Natales.

After a full morning of exploration, we’ll break for lunch and rest in a quiet natural setting.

In the afternoon, we’ll resume the excursion—either continuing with the original plan or adjusting based on new tracking data, always with the same goal: a close and respectful sighting of the Patagonian puma.

Last day of tracking

On our final day, we’ll depart once more from Puerto Natales with the same goal that has inspired this entire journey: to spot and photograph the elusive puma, the legendary hunter of Patagonia.

We’ll meet our trackers at a new strategic point, using their most up-to-date field data to plan the route. As always, our path will be shaped by real-time information on puma activity and wildlife movement in the area.

Box lunch and last hours in the park

Around midday, we’ll enjoy our final box lunch surrounded by nature, then head out for one last afternoon excursion. This is your final chance to explore prime wildlife zones and capture your last images of this stunning landscape.

Return to Puerto Natales

Around 5:30 PM, we’ll wrap up the expedition and return to Puerto Natales, arriving at your accommodation by approximately 7:00 PM.

This marks the end of an unforgettable Puma Safari Torres del Paine, a rare opportunity to connect with Patagonia’s raw beauty and witness its most iconic predator in the wild.
