General questions about Torres del Paine
Are there any dangerous animals in Torres del Paine?
CONAF, the official park's administrator, warns against encountering pumas. If you encounter a puma, you should stay calm and not approach it or run. Try to back away slowly, make eye contact, and raise your arms to appear larger. Speak firmly and loudly. When the pumas are eating or accompanying their offspring, they can pose a threat.
