点评:Our experience with "Journey With Jaguars" was truly fantastic! Everything was extremely well-organized, and communication was excellent—not only before the tour but also during and even after. We always felt well-informed and taken care of.
Pantanal is an absolutely incredible place with breathtaking wildlife. The natural diversity is overwhelming — you are surrounded by countless birds, and every moment feels like a new discovery. At the lodge, animals would often visit, making the experience even more special. The highlight, of course, was seeing big jaguars from a close distance in their natural habitat—an unforgettable and thrilling moment. Another incredible experience was spotting giant otters, watching them play, fish, and interact as a family.
What impressed us deeply was our guide’s unbelievable knowledge. He could name more than 2,000 bird species—in three different languages! Every time we spotted a bird, he instantly identified it, sharing fascinating details about its behavior and habitat. His expertise and passion made the experience even more special, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the incredible wildlife of the Pantanal.
Payment was easy as well, with good options for European customers.
As a European visitor, I appreciate that Benjamin is already in the higher price range, which in my opinion should be enough to provide fair wages. While it was well communicated in advance, I still found it disappointing that staff depend so much on tips as a necessary part of their income. I would prefer a system where their salaries are already sufficient, so tipping is only an extra way to show appreciation.
One small note—not only for this operator but for eco-tourism in the Pantanal in general—I think there could be a bit more focus on nature protection, and it wouldn’t require extra costs. For example, agreeing on speed limits and avoiding full-power driving in narrow creeks could be an easy way to reduce disturbance to wildlife.
Still, this was an absolutely amazing experience, and I would highly recommend "Journey With Jaguars" to anyone looking for a professional and responsible way to explore the Pantanal!
翻译:我们在“美洲虎之旅”的体验真的很棒!一切都井然有序,沟通也非常顺畅——不仅在旅行前,而且在旅行中甚至旅行后也是如此。我们总是感觉信息灵通,受到了很好的照顾。
潘塔纳尔是一个绝对令人难以置信的地方,拥有令人惊叹的野生动物。自然多样性令人惊叹——你被无数的鸟类包围着,每一刻都感觉像是一个新的发现。在小屋里,动物经常会来访,让体验更加特别。当然,最精彩的是近距离观察美洲虎的自然栖息地——一个令人难忘和激动的时刻。另一个令人难以置信的经历是发现巨型水獭,看着它们玩耍、捕鱼,并像一家人一样互动。
给我们留下深刻印象的是我们的导游令人难以置信的知识。他能用三种不同的语言说出 2,000 多种鸟类的名字!每当我们发现一只鸟时,他都会立即识别它,并分享有关其行为和栖息地的迷人细节。他的专业知识和热情使这次体验更加特别,我们对潘塔纳尔令人惊叹的野生动物有了更深刻的了解。
付款也很容易,为欧洲客户提供了很好的选择。
作为一名欧洲游客,我很感激 Benjamin 已经处于较高的价格范围内,在我看来,这应该足以提供公平的工资。虽然事先已经沟通好了,但我仍然感到失望,员工如此依赖小费作为他们收入的必要组成部分。我更喜欢一个他们的工资已经足够的系统,所以小费只是表达感谢的额外方式。
一个小提示——不仅对于这家运营商,而且对于潘塔纳尔的生态旅游——我认为可以更加注重自然保护,而且不需要额外的费用。例如,商定速度限制并避免在狭窄的小溪中全速行驶可能是减少对野生动物干扰的简单方法。
尽管如此,这绝对是一次令人惊叹的体验,我强烈推荐“美洲虎之旅”给任何想要以专业和负责任的方式探索潘塔纳尔的人!
