Los Pumas

Exploration Path

We will leave the lodge on foot and hike through a vast steppe region bordering the Chacabuco River. This is one of the areas most populated by pumas and guanacos. Here we will learn more about these species and how to protect them.

Framed by majestic mountains of many hues, the vast Chacabuco Valley stretches from east to west. Sculpted over millennia by geological forces and glacial activity, this breathtaking basin is now home to the Patagonian steppe, where guanacos roam free, pumas leave their tracks, and condors soar high above. The Chacabuco River Valley tells a story of enduring interaction between man and nature - once a refuge for ancient hunter-gatherer groups, and later a grazing ground for the vast herds of the estancia era. Today, its intricate network of trails invites explorers to discover a legacy of transformation, resilience and conservation.
