Here we will be adding our own articles on the wildlife, territory, and seasons of northwestern Santa Cruz: puma behavior, the best times for each excursion, and the tourism potential of the region.
In the meantime, here is how some national and international media have been presenting our fieldwork after coming to see us in person.
You will find references to "El Choique Guía": that was the name of Facundo's tracking venture before he founded, together with the current team, Safari Patagonia Argentina.
A review of how puma watching has evolved in the region since 2019, when Facundo trained in tracking and observation. The article presents him as the guide and founder of Safari Patagonia Argentina.
Facundo speaks in the first person about how he prepares each tracking outing and why patience — more than luck — determines the outcome of a sighting.
The Infobae team travelled to Patagonia Park with Facundo, on an outing coordinated with Rewilding Argentina. The report follows the tracking step by step: fresh prints, the remains of a kill, and finally, a puma 40 metres away.
"It is the only place in Argentina where you can see wild pumas," summarises this piece on the tracking outings we offer in northwestern Santa Cruz.
A look at the photo safaris for pumas, rheas, and condors we offer in Patagonia Park, presented as a one-of-a-kind experience in the country.
"This year, no one who stayed more than two days left without seeing a wild puma," Facundo says in this piece about his work as a guide in northwestern Santa Cruz.
"Nature tourism offers unique, unrepeatable experiences," says Facundo in this piece that as early as 2022 highlighted the potential of Patagonia Park and its local guides.
The article follows Facundo's return to his hometown of Perito Moreno to become a wildlife guide and found El Choique Guía, the venture that gave rise to Safari Patagonia Argentina. His surname, of Mapuche origin, means "two jewels"; his own, he says, are "love and knowledge".
National Geographic Traveller presents Facundo as Argentina's first officially designated puma tracker. The feature follows a field day in Patagonia Park: hours of cold tracks until a glint among the rocks reveals the collar of a hidden female. "Every day I learn something new," he says.
The British magazine presents Facundo as Argentina's first guide specializing in puma-trekking, with photographs by Horacio Barbieri.
The British travel magazine covers the revival of wildlife in Patagonia Park and references us as the go-to source for puma tracking in the area.
"Epul sees pumas as an opportunity," says Sebastián Di Martino (Rewilding Argentina) in this piece that holds up Facundo as a model of the green economy growing in the region.
An audiovisual journey through the conflict and potential coexistence between livestock farmers, conservationists, and pumas in Patagonia: sheep, predation, and the search for solutions in the territory we roam.
A 4-episode documentary series filmed in Monte León, Patagonia, and Laguna Blanca national parks, exploring the conflict and coexistence between pumas and livestock farmers in Patagonia. The Safari Patagonia Argentina team participated in the production, contributing their tracking expertise in Patagonia Park.
We visited Patagonia Park Argentina, and thanks to Rewilding Argentina we were able to see the reality of the place and what surrounds the puma, an animal questioned for decades.
