If seeing a wild puma is on your bucket list, Torres del Paine in Patagonia is the place to do it. This stunning national park, with its towering peaks and windswept plains, is home to one of the highest concentrations of pumas in the world.

With a bit of luck and a skilled guide, you can track these elusive big cats and watch them in their natural element.

Most puma tracking trips start early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the cats are on the move. Your guide will know what to look for—tracks, scat, even distant movement—and lead you to areas where sightings are common.

It’s not just about spotting a puma; it’s about being out in the wild, soaking in the scenery, and learning about how these animals live and hunt.

And when you finally catch a glimpse of one—whether it’s stalking a guanaco or lounging on a rocky slope—it’s pure magic.
