The area by the north coast of Lake Sarmiento Lake, Amarga Lagoon and Azul Lagoon is well-known for having one of the largest populations of pumas in the wild.
The best time to see pumas is from February to April, as the females pumas are actively hunting to provide food for their growing cubs. At this time of year, they are active by night, and also during the twilight hours. To see a female pumas and her cubs in the middle of this stunning mountain landscape is one of the most impressive wildlife spectacles.
