Explore the fascinating natural scenery of Torres del Paine National Park with our guides and expert trackers on a wildlife photography excursion as we search for the quintessential predator of this wonderful place in the world on a three-day trip from sunrise to sunset. We will travel aboard our vehicle on the park’s inner roads, which offer spectacular panoramic views and are known to be located in areas where cougars maintain their biological corridors and hunting grounds.

We will find abundant local birdlife, such as guanacos, culpean foxes, squealing foxes, armadillos and many birds, such as the black-backed eagle and the majestic condor, sovereign of the Andean skies, among many others. As we focus on maximizing our chances of spotting and watching the magnificent cougar, the absolute king of the Patagonian Andes, we will explore the fascinating landscape of Torres del Paine National Park.
