About Us

We are Puma Adventures

Puma Adventures was born in Santiago, Chile, as a way to transform adventure into something deeper. What began with our own mountain stories has now become purpose-designed experiences, where every step invites you to connect with nature and with yourself. We are Javi and Vicho, a couple, a team, and guides of a project that seeks to Each person takes away much more than a summit.

We moved away from mass tourism to work in an artisanal way. We design each output as a unique pieceMeaningful routes, small groups, curated food, and well-thought-out timing. We prefer fewer, better-planned outings. Because do it well, with intention and humanity, is the only way something becomes truly unforgettable.

We are not massive, we are experience designers

Each outing is designed as a unique piece: meaningful routes, small groups, and details that transform a hike into something memorable.

We work by hand

We don't operate by catalog or seek volume. We prefer fewer, better-made orders, with real dedication to each person.

The difference is in how we do it

Being a boutique is a choice: creating with intention, taking care of every step, and guiding with humanity. What's handmade lasts forever.

Beyond the summit

Each outing is designed as a process, so that what matters isn't where you arrive, but how you arrive.

Lead your own path

The mountain doesn't just take you to a summit, takes you inward. Each step is a conscious decision, an act of courage to step out of the familiar and begin writing your own story.

Transform body and mind

Physical effort turns into mental clarity. With each climb, you strengthen your body, develop resilience, and discover a stronger version of you, focused and awake.

Expand your potential

Every challenge is an opportunity to discover what you are really capable of doing. Breaking away from your routine and facing the unknown opens up new perspectives and helps you see the world, and yourself, through new eyes.
