Searching for pumas in Torres del Paine

5.00Yesterday, I went in search of pumas in Torres del Paine with the guides from WildFrames Chile, Gastón and Carito, and it was an incredible experience! 🙌📸 Both are experts in the field and made the entire outing much more than just a simple tour: it was a unique, entertaining experience full of learning. Thanks to them, I had the great luck of spotting "Petaca," the most famous puma in the park today 🐾 Without a doubt, it is an experience I would happily repeat and recommend 100%. The guys are the best!

5.00At our first stop, we were fortunate to observe a female puma feeding; it was very lovely. Carito and Gastón are excellent company and a great complement! They made the day very entertaining and pleasant; we had an excellent time! We recommend them 100% if you are looking for a close and fun experience; the laughter was abundant!
A great experience!

5.00It was a really fascinating experience. We were in the national park very early, long before sunrise. Our guide had a thermal camera through which we could observe different animals. In this case, no Pumas, but the highlight came later! We were able to see a puma from different points, our guide later sent us wonderful pictures. Also we could see the Torres del Paine in the best light, on a tour the day before that was not possible because of clouds and fog. My wife and I would highly recommend this tour.
Great puma viewing experience

5.00Had a very enjoyable day looking for puma. Very happy with the organisation, the vehicle, lunch and of course the guides. Had some excellent animal sightnings including an armadille which was a bonus. Our puma sighting was excellent with a very long, quiet and initially private experience. This puma was even happy to roll on her back and show us her tummy - so she was ultra-relaxed. I have no hesitation recommending Wild Frames.
Amazing experience!

5.00This was a definite highlight of my entire South America and Antarctica trip. I give this company my highest rating and recommendation. I couldn’t have asked for anything more than having Carolina and Gaston as our guides. They were very knowledgeable about pumas, the area, and all of the other wildlife there. They were some of the nicest and most enjoyable people to be around that I have ever met. We successfully saw pumas which was a life experience that I will never forget. I couldn’t be happier with the overall experience!
