TESTIMONIALS

Guy and Sue Huntington – United Kingdom

Many thanks for a great trip to the Pantanal. All your arrangements for accommodation and transport worked extremely well, allowing us to concentrate on wildlife viewing and photography. Encounters with Jaguars exceeded our expectations by far, giving us great photo opportunities, aided by the very experienced boat driver. The macaws were superb and gave us wonderful opportunities for flight photography. Your knowledge of the area and its wildlife greatly enhanced our enjoyment of the trip.

Kevin Bullock - United Kingdom

“I’ve just come back from 2 weeks in South Pantanal, North Pantanal and the Atlantic Rainforest with Octavio and can highly recommend his tours, really nice guy, great guide, incredible bird knowledge and fantastic tour organisation. Obviously it’s wildlife so no guarantees on what you see, but we saw so much and so many birds, it’s going to take me a while to process all my pictures. If you’re thinking of going – don’t hesitate, I’m pretty sure you won’t be disappointed.”

Bill Harbin – USA

“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.”

Hanne and Jorn Wahlstrom – Denmark

“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.”
