Pumas of Torres del Paine

December 14-19 2025

Join us for an incredible wildlife adventure as we track Pumas in the land adjacent to the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile.  Torres del Paine is Patagonia’s flagship park and the surrounding area is renowned for having the most approachable population of wild pumas (Mountain Lions) in the World.  We will spend 4 full days on private ranch lands bordering the national park with one of the very best Puma trackers in the business.  We’re virtually guaranteed to experience several close range photographic encounters during this time.  We have enjoyed a 100% success rate on prior trips.

Instructors:  Gerri Whitley  and Rex Bryngelson
