I still think back to my days walking with the Pumas of Patagonia & I am still utterly amazed at the epic encounters we had with the 4th largest cat in the world!

Just for a moment - imagine yourself here, only a few meters away from such a formidable animal! It’s such a unique experience, and unlike anything else on earth. The cats are habituated to people on foot & in fact, will happily walk up to you. It allows for a life-changing nature experience and epic wildlife photography as well!

We are always in the company of professional guides who are aware of the cats & their associated behaviours, always watching for signs of distress. We keep a healthy distance to the cats but there are times, like this, that they simply decide to walk a little closer on their own accord.

Join me in 2024 for an experience with Pumas in Torres del Paine that will change your life!"



"@hekeprkl not talking specific sub species, just that they are the 4th largest - tiger, lion, jaguar, then puma."

Would like him to specify but he's the 2nd person who've I seen say that these Pumas are larger than the Leopards they've seen.

He just gave a general description rather than a rank of subspecies.

Though I do wonder what his opinion is on Persian and Congo Leopards. Reply
