On previous trips to Patagonia as well as in my preparation for this last trip 2018, I found it hard to get credible information and so thought I’d put a little something together to explain the formation of the Torres del Paine Massive in as short a time as possible. I hope you enjoy [...]
I have returned home with a feeling of triumphant euphoria having found a big cat I have tried so many times to see before, the puma. My previous unsuccessful attempts were in the Rockies of Colorado and on two earlier trips to Torres del Paine. Puma are often referred to as American Cheetah, they [...]

Private Guide Worldwide PGWW, my favourite way to do this for guests whose lives do not afford them the ability of time away from their busy lives and businesses or who are unlikely to travel back to South East Asia for many years, is to experience a South East Asian journey. This can be done [...]
