You'll take a transfer with a guide from Punta Arenas town or airport to Estancia Cerro Guido in Torres del Paine.
Meals: Lunch, dinner
Accommodation: Estancia Cerro Guido
Days 2-4: Puma Tracking and Wildlife Spotting (8 sessions)
During days two to four of your trip, you'll have a busy schedule of day and night searches for pumas in the area. You'll inspect the known puma hunting grounds in the east of the park and the area bounded by the north coast of Sarmiento Lake, Amarga Lagoon and Azul Lagoon which is well-known for having one of the largest populations of pumas in the wild.
To see a female puma and her large cubs against this stunning mountain backdrop is one of the most impressive wildlife spectacles. In the company of your guide and puma tracker, you will attempt to spot puma family groups at a respectful distance with the help of binoculars and spotting scopes.
You'll also take some time exploring Torres del Paine National Park to look for other mammals such as the local Andean deer (huemul), Patagonian hog-nosed skunk and the Patagonian hairy armadillo.
