点评:This is run as a non-profit nature reserve with the goal of reforesting the area that was taken away for agriculture. This organization has been doing this work for many decades! Please visit this place knowing that everything we spend here goes to support their efforts for conservation.
The two day, two night trip to this amazing wildlife reserve was arranged by our travel agents based in UK with logistics arranged by a local operator and it was amazing. It is just the perfect place for people who love birding and/or who want to relax immersed in nature without giving up on modern conveniences - excellent room with all the facilities, air conditioning, wifi in the dining and lounge area, etc. We were so busy with birding that we never had time to soak in the swimming pool!
The place is owned and run by Nicolas Locke and his wife, Raquel along with their son, Thomas. Very welcoming people and we enjoyed our lunch chat with them. The package included all the meals and there are many varieties of tea and coffee all the time. Not to mention the generous jug of Caipirinha cocktail every evening. Beer is available in the refrigerator at an additional nominal cost. Ans wine as well.
The guide, Adilei, would pick us up at 6AM in the morning (or whatever time suits you) and we would either hike thru the reserve or he would drive us to nearby places and do birding in open areas or other forests. We would come back after a five hour long birding trip in the morning in time for lunch, a siesta in the afternoon and then another birding late afternoon or evening if you want to do night birding when we saw the Giant Snipe, Common Pauraque, Common Potoo and Tawny-browed Owl.
We saw nearly 100 species of birds during our stay, of which 50 were lifers! It could be considered a few more, but I record/report only if I manage to get a good identifiable photograph of the bird.
翻译:这是一个非营利性的自然保护区,目的是重新造林,这些区域被用作农业用地。这个组织已经从事这项工作几十年了!请参观这里,要知道我们在这里花的每一分钱都用于支持他们的保护工作。
我们在英国的旅行社安排了两天两夜的旅行,前往这个令人惊叹的野生动物保护区,由当地运营商安排后勤工作,非常棒。对于喜欢观鸟和/或想沉浸在大自然中放松身心而又不放弃现代便利设施的人来说,这里是完美的地方——房间很棒,设施齐全,有空调,餐厅和休息区有无线网络,等等。我们忙着观鸟,没有时间泡在游泳池里!
这个地方由 Nicolas Locke 和他的妻子 Raquel 以及他们的儿子 Thomas 拥有和经营。人们非常热情,我们很享受和他们共进午餐的聊天。套餐包括所有餐点,而且一直有各种各样的茶和咖啡。更不用说每天晚上都有丰盛的 Caipirinha 鸡尾酒了。冰箱里有啤酒,需额外支付少量费用。还有葡萄酒。
导游 Adilei 会在早上 6 点(或任何您方便的时间)来接我们,然后我们会徒步穿越保护区,或者他会开车送我们去附近的地方,在空旷的地方或其他森林里观鸟。早上,我们会在 5 小时的观鸟之旅后回来吃午饭,下午午睡,然后如果您想在晚上观鸟,下午晚些时候或晚上再来一次观鸟,那时我们看到了大鹬、普通长尾鸱、普通林鸮和棕眉鸮。
我们在逗留期间看到了近 100 种鸟类,其中 50 种是终生鸟类!可以考虑再多一些,但我只有在设法拍到可识别的鸟类照片时才会记录/报告。
