Three Towers, Torres del Paine National Park, Chili: The Three Towers (Tres Torres), These granite monoliths act as a symbol for the entire park. The first sight, at the end of the Ascencio Valley, is the Cordillera del Paine mountain range after which the park is named. This portion of the trek involves an 2,625 ft. climb to reach the mountains' base, the highest point of the trek. The mountain range’s highest peak is Cerro Paine Grande, which measures 9,022 feet in height. The most famous part is the three peaks, which are nicknamed the "Dragon’s Backbone" or "Cleopatra’s Needles."

South American cougar (Puma concolor concolor) by Gregory "Slobirdr" Smith Via Flickr: One of the most wanted species on my list while leading tours was to see a mountain lion. This was my very last scheduled Naturalist Journeys' tour and it was to one of my favorite places - Patagonia. Trackers in the area that abuts Torres del Paine National Park have been able to track some of the fifteen pumas that roam a private ranch that abuts this park. This is Sol and her single 1yr+ old cub. Many more photos to follow of this now not-so-elusive species to follow...

Puma, Patagonia

This very focused puma is likely pursuing a guanaco, a relative of the llama that's at the top of its daily menu. In this case, dinner will be served in Torres del Paine National Park in the Patagonia region of Chile, the sprawling park recognised as one of the most famous places in the world to watch and photograph wild pumas. While many tourists prefer Patagonia's warmer seasons, puma enthusiasts head to Torres del Paine from May to August – what's known locally as the secret season, when trained guides take visitors on hikes or all-terrain vehicle tours to look for the stealthy pumas. The wild cats have been officially protected for the last few years, bolstering their population, and there are abundant guanacos in the Patagonian grasslands, which also helps.

The puma (which is the same big cat you might call a mountain lion or cougar) is the fourth-largest cat in the world, following the lion, tiger and jaguar. Pumas don't roar like their large cousins; instead, they purr like house cats. That might explain why people in Patagonia simply call pumas “gatos” (“cats” in Spanish). With their characteristic slim build and impressive camouflage colouring, these astute hunters can live 10 years in their remote Patagonian home.

French Valley, Torres del Paine National Park, Chili: The middle portion of the W Trek is best known for hanging glaciers that crack and rumble as you pass through the valley. You may see ice falling from the cliffs in the distance. The end of the valley involves a steep climb to a summit atop a set of boulders offering a 360-degree view, a fitting reward for a challenging day’s work.
