Chile's Torres del Paine National Park is frequently honoured by visitors as being one of the world's most beautiful places. Its wildlife is normally very tame and it's not rare to see herds of relaxed and inquisitive guanacos at very close quarters; it's something else to try to see the lonely hunter that dwells in the vast and barren hills, the puma. This expedition has been specifically designed to try to see these big cats in one the wildest areas throughout its entire range in the Americas. Join us on this quest, to discover the wildlife of Torres del Paine and its secretive and yet most awe-inspiring inhabitant.

Dates 2009 | 2010: Available from March through August 2010; Meet/Depart: Punta Arenas or Puerto Natales, Chile. Optional transfers to/from El Calafate, Argentina. Departures are guaranteed with two participants.
