Cascada del Rio Paine


Lago del Toro as seen during hike from Laguna Verde to Lago del Toro

A member of the camelid family, the guanaco is the most common animal seen in Torres del Paine

While hiking in Torres del Paine, we noticed a lone guanaco on top of a ridge. Instead of calmly munching on the grass, it was very active, making all sorts of sounds, braying and whinneying. The sounds ranged from high-pitched trills to snorting and shrieking. The guanaco alarm call sounds like a cross between a bleat and a laugh. After looking around the area, we noticed a puma with a couple of cubs. Luckily, we were able to watch them interact with each other for quite awhile.
