About
Patagonia WildWatching is a small Punta Arenas–based wildlife and birding outfit founded by Cristofer De la Rivera, a Chilean veterinarian who has worked as a professional guide in Patagonia for more than seven years. Trips run from the Strait of Magellan across Chilean Patagonia and into adjacent Argentine Santa Cruz Province.
The core programme combines Magellanic bird specialities (penguins, plovers, albatrosses) with puma tracking in Torres del Paine, whale-watching in the Strait, and sea-kayaking expeditions. Tours are run privately or in small groups with bilingual guiding.
