The focus of this Patagonia Wildlife Adventure will be the Puma, the largest mammal of the Andes. We will concentrate our efforts on its search while we also look for other mammals and birds that inhabit this remote location, surviving in one of the most extremes landscapes on earth.

Explore Antarctica
Our small expedition vessels are more like private yachts, offering direct access to areas along the Antarctic shore that larger ships simply can’t reach.
