WHERE THE WILD CALLS:

PATAGONIA PUMA EXPEDITION & TORRES DEL PAINE ADVENTURE

March 31-April 7, 2026 | 8 Days, 7 Nights

Experience Wild Patagonia

Join me, Brooke, founder of Rewildology, on an extraordinary journey into the heart of Chilean Patagonia, where rugged wilderness meets conservation in action. I’m thrilled to personally host this exclusive expedition that combines rare wildlife encounters with breathtaking adventures in one of Earth’s most spectacular landscapes.

Together, we’ll experience the thrill of tracking elusive pumas in their natural habitat, then enjoy a special dinner with renowned puma expert Nicolás Lagos from Panthera’s Puma Coexistence Program (featured in Where Pumas Roam: The Keepers of Torres del Paine). Learn firsthand about the pioneering work being done to protect these magnificent cats and promote human-wildlife coexistence in the region. Then we’ll venture deep into Torres del Paine National Park to hike legendary trails, kayak pristine glacial waters, and immerse ourselves in the raw beauty of Patagonia.

Operated by BirdsChile, this carefully crafted journey maintains the highest commitment to quality while channeling tourism toward positive conservation and social impact. A portion of your trip fee directly supports Rewildology’s Project Patagonia conservation initiatives with Panthera, creating a meaningful connection between your adventure and the preservation of this remarkable ecosystem.

Limited to just 12 participants, this expedition offers an intimate wilderness experience with comfortable accommodations, streamlined for convenience with extended stays at our primary lodges to maximize time in the field.

I’ve designed this expedition for wildlife enthusiasts and adventure travelers seeking authentic experiences that go beyond typical tourism. Together, we’ll watch for soaring condors, graceful guanacos, elusive foxes, and majestic raptors against the backdrop of Patagonia’s iconic granite spires and sweeping landscapes. I hope you’ll join me for this unforgettable journey where adventure meets purpose.
