Protecting Patagonia Together

 

A Landscape Worth Protecting

Bordering Torres del Paine National Park, the Awasi Patagonia Private Reserve protects 7,000 acres of private land where Patagonian steppe, pre-Andean scrub and Magellanic forest meet. This unique transition between ecosystems creates an environment of exceptional biodiversity and provides an important refuge for wildlife moving beyond the boundaries of the national park.

Managed by our team, the reserve offers guests exclusive access to a protected landscape that remains largely untouched while supporting ongoing conservation efforts.

 

Into Puma Territory

As Patagonia’s top predator, the puma plays a vital role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem. Through strategically placed camera traps, Awasi monitors puma movements and habits, gaining insight into their populations while ensuring minimal disturbance. After years of monitoring, we have developed a deeper understanding of puma populations, their patterns and behavior.

Puma-Tracking Exploration

Led by your private guide, set out on a Puma Tracking experience aboard your INEOS Grenadier.

Learn to identify signs of puma activity through tracks, markings and camera trap observations, including identified individuals and movement patterns. Discover the world of one of Patagonia’s most elusive predators, with the possibility of witnessing one in the wild.

Contributing to Conservation

Every stay contributes to the long-term protection of the Awasi Patagonia Private Reserve through a Conservation Contribution of USD 50 per person, per night, applicable for up to three nights.

This contribution supports:

  • Wildlife monitoring and camera trap research.
  • Conservation of the Awasi Patagonia Private Reserve.
  • Responsible puma tracking and habitat preservation.
  • Long-term scientific monitoring of the ecosystem.

Each year, a conservation report reveals what the contribution has made possible, including the projects supported and the impact achieved within the reserve.

The conservation initiative is carried out by Awasi Patagonia, with the support of Fundación Faro Verde, whose work contributes to environmental conservation and sustainable initiatives.
