My guide and I had to climb pretty high up a steep slope to capture images of this puma surveying her territory. She eventually spotted a small group of guanacos and made an unsuccessful run down the hill. I was hoping to get her positioned on the ridge line, but that wasn’t to be. Fortunately, however, my high vantage point did enable me to capture the distant snow capped mountains in the backdrop, giving a sense of the Patagonian landscape in which these amazing cats thrive. Being springtime for us, it was fall for the southern hemisphere and you can see all the rust-colored leaves dotting the mountainsides.
