Wildlife and exploration experiences born from fieldwork, alongside photography and illustration inspired by the nature of the far south.
Piel de Puma brings together three parts of one life in Patagonia: moving through the land, observing its wildlife and turning those encounters into images. From a track in the steppe to an illustration on paper, everything begins outdoors.
Private Puma Tracking, birdwatching, horseback riding and trekking, with time to read the landscape and follow what is actually happening in the field.
Wildlife, behavior, tracks and photography. Observe carefully before approaching; understand before intervening.
Illustration and photography born from the species, landscapes and encounters that inspire fieldwork.
Private Puma Tracking, Torres del Paine Full Day, Birdwatching, horseback riding and trekking designed around the land, wildlife activity and the real conditions of each day.

Piel de Puma starts with observation: recognizing individuals, reading behavior, understanding habitats and allowing each encounter to unfold at its own pace.
Piel de Puma also comes from drawing, photographing and observing. This section brings together part of the visual work inspired by Patagonia's wildlife and landscapes.

View Puma TrackingI am Max, a tourism guide focused mainly on flora and fauna, as well as a photographer and illustrator. Much of my work happens in the field, travelling through Patagonia and observing the wildlife around Torres del Paine. Part of that fieldwork takes place at Leona Amarga, an estancia dedicated to conservation.
Piel de Puma comes from there: exploring, observing and creating from the land. It also comes from the idea of seeing this landscape from another perspective — of trying, for a moment, to step into the skin of a puma and understand how it moves, observes and inhabits Patagonia. The brand seeks to let you carry a part of that experience with you, whether through an image, an illustration or a piece born from the same landscape.
