Rather than repeating what the other reviews said about the specific tours, I will just confirm that the outstanding reviews are deserved. we felt that we were seeing the country with friends, rather than guides. We laughed and had an absolutely amazing time. I highly recommend using this company to have the best experience possible in Chile!!

About the Guides
You will be accompanied by expert guides dedicated to the conservation of the puma in Torres del Paine National Park.
Journey through Torres del Paine in Search of the Elusive Puma
Awaken bright and early to meet your English-speaking guide at the meeting point previously agreed upon via email. If pick-up is at your hotel, we will collect you at 5am (or earlier, depending on your location). Once we’re all set, we’ll head off to spectacular Torres del Paine! Known for its soaring mountains, glaciers and icebergs, yellow grasslands, and rare wildlife, this national park is a nature and adventure lover’s playground.
Our top priority today is to explore the park in search of the elusive puma. If we’re lucky enough to find one, we’ll spend a short time (so as not to disturb the natural balance) taking photos and admiring this majestic creature. If we’re not lucky enough to encounter the puma during this time, we will make short treks in the hope of success.
Lunchtime is yours to do as you please. Either return to your hotel for some lunch and rest, or explore various lakes in the region. Gray Lake, declared an International Biosphere Reserve, boasts a huge expanse of water scattered with floating icebergs and is truly out of this world. Here you can explore the area in search of the South Andean deer, or simply take photographs of the spectacular landscapes. We’ll continue our exploration of the park, visiting spectacular locations such as Laguna Azul and Laguna Amarga. Take in views of snow-capped mountains from across these turquoise lakes, witness hundreds of guanacos grazing free, and admire the llamas, birds, and countless other species native to the area. We’ll finish this magical day with a final search for the majestic puma.

- Flecha Extrema is not responsible for lost items
I booked several trips with Flecha Extrema and would absolutely do so again. They can give great insight in authentic Chilean culture and nature als well as explain it to you in German or English as Jana is fluent in both languages and Viktor knows his country with all it’s secrets. They always tried to make the tour real special with nice extras and tried to really individualise and go with your wishes.

We didn’t feel like typical tourists…we felt like Flecha pulled back the curtain a bit and showed us what the place was really like. Needless to say, we will be back and I will email Flecha to organize all our excursions. I cannot imagine a better partner in creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences!
