点评:My husband and I went on a 9 day private tour with Douglas Trent of Focus Tours. It was an amazing experience. We divided our time between the Pantanal wetland and the southern Amazon rainforest. On a typical day we were on the river for ~3 hours in the morning, back at the lodge for lunch and then back on the water in the afternoon. Douglas's knowledge of the birds and other wildlife is phenomenal. Every day we saw new animals. We divided our time between two remote lodges on the Paraguay and the Guapore rivers. The rooms were clean and all had air conditioning. The food at both lodges was excellent, accompanied by the sound of birds and the sighting of monkeys during our meals.
Douglas is a well known in the area as an ecologist, birder and photographer. A number of times our trip was enhanced by his personal connections. I was surprised to find the cost of his tour was less than that of other tours operating in the area. In addition, his tours are limited to 4 people allowing access to a greater number of areas because he can use smaller boats. I look forward to using Douglas Trent on future explorations of South America.
翻译:我和丈夫参加了 Focus Tours 的 Douglas Trent 为期 9 天的私人旅行。这是一次奇妙的经历。我们把时间分配在潘塔纳尔湿地和亚马逊南部雨林之间。通常,我们早上在河上待大约 3 个小时,回到小屋吃午饭,然后下午再回到水上。Douglas 对鸟类和其他野生动物的了解非常了不起。我们每天都会看到新动物。我们把时间分配在巴拉圭河和瓜波雷河上的两个偏远小屋之间。房间很干净,都有空调。两个小屋的食物都很棒,用餐时伴随着鸟儿的叫声和猴子的踪迹。
Douglas 是当地著名的生态学家、观鸟者和摄影师。他的个人关系多次使我们的旅行更加愉快。我很惊讶地发现他的旅行费用低于该地区其他旅行团的费用。此外,他的旅行团限制人数为 4 人,因此可以使用较小的船,从而可以游览更多地区。我期待着在未来的南美洲探险中使用道格拉斯·特伦特。
