Pumas of Patagonia 2023 Photo Tour
I’m returning to southern Chile to lead one of my favorite trips: the Wild Pumas of Patagonia tour. This tour offers photographers one of the best opportunities to see big wild cats on foot, as we explore the area in and around Torres del Paine for the king of the Andes.
This tour is scheduled later in the season than most puma tours, which means fewer tourists and other photographers are around, and the autumn scenery is spectacular. We always seem to come away with more cat sightings on these trips than most tours, and those are complemented by many other animal species. After a successful 2022 tour, I am offering this trip again in 2023.

Costa Rica: Quetzals to Corcovado
I’m excited to be returning to Costa Rica after a four-year absence! This is a wonderful tour for anyone looking to explore environments loaded with biodiversity, and I’m presenting an itinerary that offers us a chance to explore different biomes and photograph a wide variety of subjects. We’ll travel from bird-rich highland forests (home to the Resplendent Quetzal) to the diverse Caribbean slope… then over to the wildlife-rich Pacific coast.
This tour also has the unique extension to Corcovado National Park… one of the few photo tours that stays inside the park, which is the country’s best spot for wildlife!
Yellowstone Photo Tours in Spring, Fall & Winter
Join me on a photo adventure in the world’s first national park! Yellowstone is home to abundant wildlife (it’s probably the best location for general wildlife in the Lower 48), and even has some landscape photo opportunities as well.
Our tours shift focus depending on the season, with spring being more wildlife-centric, while the autumn and winter tours offer more opportunities for landscapes. Our next tours are Yellowstone in Winter (January 2023) and Yellowstone Spring Wildlife (June 2023).
