Awasi Patagonia

Local Gauchos

“Ride across the patagonian steppe accompanied by local gauchos from the neighbouring Estancia…impregnate yourself with the raw Patagonia in a vast and fascinating landscape, experimenting the same sensations that captivated the first explorers that arrived into the region more than 100 years ago guided also by « Baqueanos », it is a unique and breathtaking experience”.

Puma Spotting

Awasi Patagonia is located in the unique environment of Torres del Paine National Park, which is a refuge for wildlife harbouring species like the puma. However the animal is exposed to several dangers outside the boundaries of the park. Awasi Foundation has helped restore the natural habitat of native species, and now between 9 and 12 pumas roam the area. While staying with us, you can experience your first sighting of a puma in the wild. You have to get up early to have a chance to see the shy dune-coloured animal. You will cross the open valley that spreads at the foot of Awasi Patagonia before reaching the lakeside of Lago Sarmiento. Our guide will help you spot the gracious feline, resting here with its cubs in the morning light after a night of hunting.

Vast and Undiscovered Patagonia

“Baguales represents the immensity of Patagonia, the border with our nearby country, the snowy and sharp peaks. It is nature in its maximum expression that shows us how insignificant we are. Visit this unique place and imagine travelling 23 million years ago when it was covered by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.”
