Leona Amarga

Where the legacy of Patagonia unfolds

Leona Amarga stands out for its pioneering role in the conservation of the puma in Patagonia. The property allocates more than 7,000 hectares to the protection of Chile's largest feline, consolidating itself as a key biological corridor for its respectful sighting and wildlife photography.

Here you will find abundant wildlife, where guanacos, foxes, armadillos, and more than 40 species of birds coexist. This natural setting borders the Torres del Paine National Park, offering direct views of the massif that complete an experience of deep connection with the steppe.

From there, you must travel three hours (250 km) by land to reach Natales and then continue the route.

How to get there by land

From Puerto Natales, you must travel 90 kilometers by land, a trip that takes about an hour and a half to reach Estancia Leona Amarga, located in the Cerro Guido sector. The main route is paved, but the final access is gravel. You can hire a private transfer or rent a private vehicle for greater flexibility during your stay.
