点评:Excellent 6d/5n trip to the Northern Pantanal organized with Octavio and Pantanal Photo Tours. Planning, itinerary, lodging, and operations were all extremely smooth and well thought out, including the brief stay at Pousada Piuval for giant anteaters before going to the river for jaguars. We were able to capture some truly spectacular sightings across all kinds of wildlife including jaguars pouncing on the hunt, giant river otter cubs playing, tapirs bathing, cranes spearfishing, and much more.
Lodging was comfortable, clean, and very well designed for photographers with lots of gear. Food at Pousada Piuval was top notch and all of the other arrangements were excellent (e.g., comfortable late-model Toyota 4WD for transfers, churrascaria meal on final day). We had a major flight delay on the way in which Octavio and team handled quite smoothly, all the way to finding an overnight hotel for us which fortunately we did not end up needing to use.
Depending on your personal interests, Octavio and team offers a range of private and group tours with different focuses so I would suggest reaching out directly and communicating your interests (e.g., serious professional photography, family vacation, birders) and the Pantanal Photo Tours team will definitely take good care of you. Overall, we highly recommend Pantanal Photo Tours and would love to go back to explore both Northern and Southern Pantanal sometime soon with Octavio and team.

翻译:与 Octavio 和 Pantanal Photo Tours 一起安排的 6 天 5 晚北部潘塔纳尔之旅非常棒。行程规划、安排、住宿和各项安排都非常顺利周到,包括在前往河边观赏美洲虎之前,先在 Pousada Piuval 短暂停留观赏大食蚁兽。我们拍摄到了许多精彩绝伦的野生动物,包括美洲虎捕猎、巨型水獭幼崽嬉戏、貘沐浴、鹤捕鱼等等。
住宿舒适干净,设计也非常适合携带大量摄影器材的摄影师。Pousada Piuval 的餐饮一流,其他安排也都非常出色(例如,舒适的新款丰田四驱车接送,以及最后一天的巴西烤肉大餐)。我们途中遇到了航班延误,但 Octavio 和他的团队处理得非常妥当,甚至帮我们找到了一家酒店过夜,幸运的是,我们最终并没有入住。
根据您的个人兴趣,Octavio 和他的团队提供各种不同主题的私人和团体旅行,因此我建议您直接联系他们并告知您的兴趣(例如,专业摄影、家庭度假、观鸟等),Pantanal Photo Tours 团队一定会为您提供周到的服务。总而言之,我们强烈推荐 Pantanal Photo Tours,并且非常期待在不久的将来再次与 Octavio 和他的团队一起探索 Pantanal 的北部和南部。
