About this activity

This tour is designed to maximize opportunities to observe and photograph cougars in their natural habitat within Torres del Paine National Park. The day begins early with transfer from Puerto Natales (in summer around 04:00) to arrive before dawn, when the fauna is most active.

The experience is guided by wildlife specialists, including a veterinary physician, which provides a technical reading of animal behavior and reinforces responsible sighting practices.

The tour takes place by 4×4 vehicle through key sectors of the park, with optional walks. You will learn about cougar behavior and responsible sighting practices. Although sightings are not guaranteed, the activity is strategically planned.

It is also possible to observe guanacos, foxes and birds of prey. Includes a snack break and photo review. Return to Puerto Natales at 15:30.
