We are a small business that aims to contribute to the disclosure of the nature and history of Patagonia, Alaska and Polar regions.

Field Guides

A great travel companion

Headquartered at South Patagonia for more than 15 years, we have been carefully designed field guides that prove to be ideal companions to explore the remote and natural landscapes of southern South America.

Designed as a travel companion for visitors throughout remote and natural landscapes, we would like these pocket guides help you to discover some of the most distinctive features that make the southern tip of South America, Alaska and Polar areas uniques and remarkable regions.

High-quality pictures for field identification of many of the species.
All of them are illustrated with their habitats and natural sizes, common names and scientific (Latin) names.

1% for the planet

Since 2012, 49 South Photo has donated 1% of its sales to local conservation and environmental local projects. 1% for the Planet is an alliance of companies that understand that it is necessary to protect the natural habitat because their gains or losses are directly related to its health and, at the same time, are aware of the social and environmental impact of their industries.
If you are the owner of a company (or have an appointment with your boss), please consider the possibility of becoming a member of this group with progressive social and environmental awareness.

Clean Seas

Currently, more than half of the 300 million tons of plastic produced annually goes to disposable goods. The third part of this is packaging material, discarded after a single use. The serious environmental consequences of this are well known. That’s why we have decided to join the global movement of stop using of single-use plastics.
Our field guides are not longer packaged in plastic sleeves.
With this small action, we hope to contribute and add to the awareness of this big global concern.
