We are simply in love with the mountains. Climbing them has changed our way of perceiving, enjoying, and feeling life. We look upon the mountains as a temple that brings us closer to nature and helps us connect with ourselves. We are mountains because we are nature, we resonate with it and that helps us connect and realize who we are.
We are PUMA
Our passion: The mountainsOur mission: Bring you closer to them!
We are Vicente and Javiera, passionate about the mountains and the outdoors. Since 2019, we have created Puma Adventures, based on the dream to create a guiding company where we live and share our passion with the community and travelers. We want everybody to get close to the mountains, explore them safely, and feel at ease while hiking and exploring fascinating places.

We are adventure

We are people
Above all, we are human beings, always emphasizing closeness, empathy, and caring about our community. You are always in our first place, and we will always make every effort to ensure that your experience meets your expectations in every way.

We are movement
We know the importance of staying active and in constant motion. This helps us not only to stay fit and healthy but also to reduce the risk of accidents and the time required to respond to emergencies.
We help our community and passengers to understand and discover the mountain and its surroundings with all our senses. Our goal is to bring you closer to nature and to increase awareness about protecting and respecting it.
We are first and foremost a group of people. At Puma Adventures, we are committed to human relations. Most of all, we are individuals, and this is our fundamental pillar.

LEAVE NO TRACE
Take only pictures, Leave only footprints
As outdoor lovers, we must protect the land we play on and minimize our impact. Today, in many areas, some trails are dearly loved by large crowds and suffer from litter, invasive species, accustomed wildlife, trail erosion, polluted water sources, and more. Although most of us do not want to damage our natural environment, we may lack the knowledge to preserve it, or we may simply neglect some important behaviors.
One way to minimize our environmental impact is to bring back everything we carry with us and dispose of our waste properly. As well, other considerations are important to keep in mind when visiting wild places: Leave what you find, minimize the effects of campfires, respect wildlife and be mindful of other visitors.
