SouthWild is proud to have Pumaland’s only year-round, multi-person team of Puma specialists and the only fully-dedicated logistical base in Pumaland, our so-called ”PumaLab”. Our full-time, on-site team makes SouthWild by far the best choice for exciting walking tours to see Pumas in action, resting, stalking, attacking, killing, and eating (mostly Guanacos, the larger and meatier of the two honey-colored, native South American camels). Our repeat guests to Peru, Brazil, and Chile include Art Wolfe, Tom Mangelsen, and Frans Lanting (in chronological order by their first visits to Pumaland). These famous photographers said that the SouthWild experience of “Walking with Pumas” offers the only chance anywhere to walk with large cats in the wild, often for hours on end. It is a spine-tingling experience.

Fortunately, there are several hotels of different levels within striking distance of Pumaland, and SouthWild designs and executes the finest Puma expeditions. Our favorite itinerary involves 4, 5 or 6 days searching for and watching Pumas. In the last 200 days of outings to search for Pumas in Pumaland, we found Pumas on every single outing, and often 3-5 of the big cats. Talk with our team about the best options for your available time and physical condition, as the daily outings can include 2-12 km of walks on open, flat or somewhat-sloping terrain.
