Can views of a Jaguar get any better than this? Highlight of the tour without a doubt! Check out the video at the end of the list for more Jaguar action! (Photo by guide Marcelo Padua)
Writing about a tour is always difficult for me, as English is not my first language and I am always afraid that I will not portray the experience we had properly, but some tours are harder than others to write about, and this particular tour has been one of the hardest. How can I condense so many great moments in a few words? Where to start?
Maybe the best way to start would be by describing the fabulous encounters we had with Jaguars -- that we saw more than one, including an amazingly rare black Jaguar, which we saw extremely well on our way to Cristalino, though not nearly as well as the female we watched hunting for a really long time. But I have great video of that and you can check it out on the trip list below. So perhaps I should write about the fabulous birding experiences we had, like seeing a male Horned Sungem in the scope for several minutes, or the fantastic looks we had at Razor-billed Curassow as we cruised the Cristalino River, or the time we spent watching the Royal Flycatcher building its nest just a few feet away from us as if we had always been there, or even the more than 160 species of birds we saw in one single day in an effort to raise money for conservation on Daphne’s Big Day!
But I think all of these moments would not have been nearly as precious if we did not have a group that seemed like old time friends by the second day of the tour. It seemed as if we had been traveling the world together for a long time and we all enjoyed having fun as much as we loved birding. Even a muddy and slippery road that resulted from a totally unexpected rain turned into another fun moment for all of us. Yes, that is the memory I will treasure the most of this 2013 Alta Floresta & Pantanal and as for the writing, I think I will only need one line:
“Good fun, great birding and wonderful people!” Yep, I think that does it!
'til we meet again,
