Pumas of Patagonia

A Wildlife Photography Adventure 

Walking the Land of the Puma

Itinerary

Join us on an unforgettable photographic journey to the breathtaking landscapes of Patagonia, Chile, renowned for its stunning natural beauty and rich wildlife. 

  • Day 1 | Arrival in Port Natales

    Our trip starts the evening of arrival with a welcome dinner where you'll get to meet your fellow travelers and talk about the adventure that lies ahead. 

  • Day 2 | Scenic Drive through Torres del Paine

    We will be picked up at our hotel and have lunch in town before embarking on our scenic drive to Torres del Paine National Park. Get your cameras ready because the beauty of this place is unsurpassed! By evening time, we will check into our lodge and have dinner and a briefing. Enjoy learning about the area and the diverse animal and bird life in the park and surrounds. 

  • Day 3 -7 | Puma Days

    We'll have 5 full days to track and photograph pumas. We'll be going out before sunrise (you don't want to miss the gorgeous sunrises here) to locate pumas. Once we find them, we'll either walk to them and spend time photographing them or walk with them as they move to other areas. We might be in the public part of the park or on private estancia where we have special permits. During the day, we might go check out other scenic areas of the park, look for other wildlife and have lunch before returning to look for pumas in the afternoon for sunset. 

  • Day 8 - Goodbye

    All good things must come to an end and today we will say goodbye to our new friends and head back to Santiago. After breakfast, we will check out and spend some more time sightseeing in the park before driving back to Port Natales to catch our flights to Santiago. Lunch will be provided before going to the airport.

" this safari exceeded all expectations"

★★★★★


I recently returned from an unforgettable photographic safari to South Africa, led by Jennifer Hadley. From start to finish, it was a dream come true for photography enthusiasts. The rhythm of each day seemed a perfect balance of adventure (tracking wildlife), photography, learning, conservation, and even a bit of relaxation. Jennifer was truly exceptional. Energetic, fun and incredibly knowledgeable, she brought a contagious enthusiasm to every game drive. What really stood out was how helpful she was with photography, providing tips, techniques and hands-on assistance to ensure everyone got the best shots possible. Overall, this safari exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique photographic experience in the wild!

" I would definitely recommend Jennifer Hadley's tours"

★★★★★


Jennifer offered a phenomenal 10 days of photographic experiences and provided a great driver/guide - Noelle (Tchagra Trails)! Together they gave us a phenomenal safari in Timbavati and Madikwe in South Africa! The rooms were more than comfortable, the food was awesome and each day was full of magnificent wildlife and fun. I would definitely recommend Jennifer Hadley's tours to South Africa and any other destination she offers as each are well planned for the optimum experience of those participating.

This trip was everything. Jennifer left no detail undone. The wildlife sightings and photographic opportunities far exceeded my expectations. The accommodations were luxurious. The food was incredible. The hospitality top notch. Jennifer was available 24/7 before, during and after the trip for any questions, concerns or needs. Her in the field photographic guidance and mentoring was truly priceless. Look no further, this is THE trip for your South Africa photographic dreams.
