Description
Depart Puerto Natales before dawn in a private vehicle, reaching the park as golden-hour light spills over the Andes. Your specialist guide — trained in wildlife tracking and animal behavior — uses a radio network spanning the park to maximize your chances of a close encounter. Read tracks, interpret behavior, and move through the landscape with purpose. Morning sessions target high-probability territories. After a full lunch in the field, afternoon tracking resumes as pumas grow active before sunset. A sighting is never guaranteed — these are wild, free-roaming animals — but this method consistently produces the highest encounter rates in Patagonia. Beyond pumas, the day delivers: guanacos, Andean condors, Patagonian foxes, lesser rheas and a landscape so vast and raw it feels like the edge of the world. A small private group of 3–6 means the guide's attention is entirely yours. Departure is from your hotel or accommodation in Puerto Natales. Park entrance fee, round-trip private transfer, specialist guide, and full trail lunch are all included.Includes
