TESTIMONIALS

North Pantanal
“I want to thank you again for a great trip to the Pantanal and Bonito region. The photographic opportunities, accommodations, and food were all excellent – your meticulous planning and knowledge of the area made for a fine trip. The transportation arrangements were perfect. The experience of watching and photographing the magnificent macaws and all the abundant wildlife in the Pantanal was everything I had hoped it would be. I definitely look forward to more trips with you in Brazil.”

Bill Harbin – USA

Pumas of Patagonia
“The Pumas in Winter trip was a great experience, perfectly organized by the extremely helpful and very competent team including the guide, driver, professional tracker and the leader Octavio Campos Salles. To see and to photograph the pumas in the amazing wintery landscape of Torres del Paine NP was on the wish list for a long time. That said, we knew Octavio from our previous trip to the Pantanal four years ago and his excellent guidance there was a decisive reason to join this trip. We could encounter pumas every day on different locations that were scouted out by the trackers.”

“For quite some time the Pantanal has been on our list of places we wanted to go to. In 2011 we decided now is the time. Having been through the various tours and other options, there was no doubt, Octavio was the one we wanted to join. We signed up immediately, and we haven’t had any reasons for regrets. Octavio is a dedicated and determined guide. Everything worked in a smooth and unstressed way. The group we joined was small, and we are sure, that the photographic outcome was outstanding for everyone. Thank you.”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences you have given us! There are no words for how much we enjoyed this trip, and we are amazed at the beauty of Brazil. I can’t even decide what the most magical moment was – there are so many! This trip was far beyond anything we could have imagined. Any one part of the trip would have been fabulous – but all together, it was a trip of a lifetime! Best wishes to you and Larissa as you introduce others to your fabulously beautiful country!”
