That's definitely a Puma, congratulations.
The narrow muzzle, slender face would suggest a female, perhaps a bit thin around the neck (part digital illusion) , but its cub time, so perhaps not so surprising.
I envy your picture, I saw three recently and failed to record the moment at either of the two encounters.

Hello,
thank You for the help.
I came back yesterday from vacation Tucuman -> Laguna Pozuelas -> calilegua NP, EL Rey NP, Copo NP, Chaco NP, Mbururaya NP, Iguassu.
I have not know how much intersting is the north part of Argentina.
Especially the Chaco is very intersting to.
Another suprise is the high level of the knowledge of national and provincial staff of Argentina. I can not remember another country which had the same high level.
I saw over 300 different birds and also foxes, wild pigs, 1 x Puma, 7 x Tapir, 2 snakes, big lizzards until 1 m ( 4 feet ) long, 2 x Pekari, some Capabarys, some Coatis, 1 turtle and 3 different king of deers.
The report will follow soon.
Best regards
Dieter

I look forward to the report. Naturetrek now do a 'Mammals of Northern Argentina' tour, which I have considered copying.
