Torres del Paine in Winter: The Wild Soul of Patagonia
This exclusive winter tour begins in the raw, untamed beauty of Torres del Paine National Park, Chile—where snow-dusted peaks, frozen lakes, and golden light create a surreal and cinematic landscape. With its dramatic granite spires, iconic towers, and wildlife-rich valleys, this is Patagonia at its most peaceful and photogenic.
You'll have the opportunity to:
Photograph the majestic Torres del Paine at sunrise, when soft winter light sets the granite peaks ablaze in fiery reds and golds, mirrored in still, icy waters like Lago Pehoé and Laguna Amarga.
Explore remote trails and highland valleys cloaked in snow, with sweeping views of glaciers, lenga forests, and rugged terrain few get to witness in winter.
Spend a full day tracking and photographing wild pumas, guided by expert local trackers who know the territory and behaviors of these elusive big cats. This rare and intimate encounter is a highlight of the trip and a bucket-list experience for any wildlife photographer.
Each session is timed for peak winter light, with personalised coaching, expert guidance, and location scouting from Timothy Poulton. Whether it’s capturing a puma in motion or chasing atmospheric light over the mountains, this winter journey is designed to elevate your photography in one of the wildest places on Earth.
