The Story

Join multi award-winning photographer Martin Gregus on an expedition into the wild heart of Patagonia, a landscape so vast and untamed it feels like the edge of the world.

This all-inclusive journey takes you deep into a private reserve at Laguna Amarga in Torres del Paine, where you'll track elusive pumas across one of the most dramatic backdrops on Earth. Towering granite peaks, sweeping valleys, and an open sky that seems to go on forever. This is Patagonia at its most raw.

Your expedition begins in Puerto Natales with a welcome dinner hosted by Martin, a chance to meet your fellow travellers and hear firsthand what it's like to spend years photographing the wildlife of this extraordinary place. From there, you travel by private car into Torres del Paine, settling into full-board accommodation that becomes your base for the days ahead.

Over 10 days in the field, Martin will guide you through the art of finding and photographing pumas. Animals that are often misunderstood, always magnificent, and unlike anything most people have ever encountered up close. You'll learn to read the landscape, anticipate wildlife behaviour, and capture it with intention rather than luck.

Evenings bring the day's work to life. Editing sessions and in-depth discussions with Martin and your expedition leader help you understand not just how to photograph Patagonia, but how to tell its story.

Limited to just 8 guests, every part of this expedition is personal. This isn't a tour. It's an immersion.

“I have had the almost unparalleled privilege to experience iconic wildlife in a way few people have ever had."

Why Travel With Martin?

Martin Gregus grew up in Bratislava, Slovakia, in a household full of artists. He learned photography from his father and was exploring local wildlife with a camera before most kids had decided what they wanted to do with their lives. The hundreds of National Geographic magazines stacked around his home did the rest.

Nineteen years later, his work has taken him across all seven continents and some of the most remote ecosystems on the planet. He has earned two wins and two nominations at Wildlife Photographer of the Year, and his 2022 polar bear project, 33 Days Among the Bears, became an international story after National Geographic coverage. His cinematography has since contributed to productions for Disney, BBC, and Netflix.

Now based in Canada, Martin is recognised internationally for his work in polar regions and remote wilderness, and for his ability to create extraordinary images in some of the most extreme environments on earth.

What Sets Martin Apart

Nearly two decades of expedition work across the planet's most extreme environments: Arctic, Antarctic, Patagonia, and the Himalayas
A network of expert local guides and trackers in each destination, built over years of repeat fieldwork, giving guests access that cannot be replicated
Technical mastery developed in the harshest conditions on earth: polar ice, high altitude, dense wilderness, and open ocean
A teaching approach grounded in patience and preparation, with a belief that the best wildlife images are earned, not stumbled upon

What Fuels Martin

"When you're standing on polar ice at sunrise, you don't need convincing that this planet is worth protecting."

It started in a living room in Slovakia, surrounded by his father's photographs and stacks of National Geographic. That childhood wonder never faded. It grew into a drive to reach the most remote corners of the planet and bring back images that make people care. For Martin, every expedition carries a purpose: show people what's out there, so they want to protect it.

Wildlife encounters and perfect weather are never guaranteed. Need help with flights? Our team is happy to help with routing and planning - just get in touch.

Will we definitely see pumas?

No, and that honesty matters. Martin is an expert wildlife photographer with deep knowledge of puma behaviour, and the expedition is supported by experienced local trackers who know Torres del Paine's terrain and puma territory intimately. This region has some of the highest wild puma densities on the planet, which is exactly why this expedition exists here. Every decision about where to go and when is made to give the group the best possible chance of an encounter. But wildlife is wild, and no sighting can ever be scripted or guaranteed. That's what makes it real.

What level of fitness is required?

Moderate to good. You'll spend five days trekking across uneven and occasionally steep terrain in Patagonia. The landscape is spectacular and the trekking is the heart of the experience, so arriving with a reasonable base fitness level will make a significant difference to how much you enjoy it. If you plan to carry camera gear, factor in the additional weight when preparing. Get in touch if you have any questions about suitability.

Can I do this trip if I’m not a photographer?

Yes. The expedition focuses on wildlife and landscape - the photography is layered on top, not the foundation. Martin's masterclasses and editing sessions are there for anyone who wants them, but guests who simply want to be in one of the wildest places on earth watching pumas are just as welcome. Bring whatever camera you have, or nothing at all.

Do I need a visa?

Many nationalities can obtain a 90-day tourist visa on arrival in Chile. Check your specific entry requirements here: https://serviciomigraciones.cl/en/permanencia-transitoria-permit/subcategories/tourists/

Is there a single supplement for solo travellers?

Yes. Solo travellers can request a private room for an additional fee. We may also be able to pair solo travellers in shared rooms on a first-come-first-served basis. Contact us for details and availability.

Can I speak to someone about this trip or get help with flights?

Yes. Our team can help with flight options and travel routing. Call, text or WhatsApp us at +61 402 552 918. You'll speak directly with an Airguides team member who knows this trip inside out. We're here for any questions, big or small, from planning your adventure to arriving back home.

Highly recommend Airguides.

Adam McKnight, Raja 2025

A truly unique experience that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

This experience is not for the faint of heart or someone who is looking for Instagram moments for clout. You are being given a unique opportunity to go to a place that will only be accessible to a handful of mere mortals.

To be in the presence of a unique visionary like Martin Gregus is truly a once in a lifetime.

Anne Prather, Fireweeds 2025

The Airguides trip to Tonga to swim with humpback whales was the experience of a lifetime. I have traveled all over the world, and nothing compares to being in the wild, rustic, deep blue waters of the South Pacific while interacting with whales and their calves. A wonderful and caring team made our adventures stress free.
