Valle del Frances (French Valley)

We will start each day early, watching the sunrise while enjoying a hot coffee and a grab-and-go breakfast. Our puma tracking team will help us locate the park’s most elusive animals. We typically start before dawn to witness the peak activity moments of the puma. We will break for lunch and rest in our domes, and in the afternoon our guide will lead us through the different habitats and ecosystems of the area, introducing us to the unique and colorful wildlife of Torres del Paine and teaching us the method used for responsible wildlife observation. After enjoying the iconic Patagonian sunset over the Paine massif, we will return to EcoCamp for dinner and a well-deserved rest.

On the fifth day of the program, we will focus on getting to know other inhabitants of the park, who are the puma’s companions in this ecosystem.

Please note: In case of bad weather, alternative activities will be carried out. Example: Paine Grande Waterfall or Laguna Azul.
