点评:I find myself hunting for the right uncliched words to describe our experience in Patagonia with ISO100. We have been on guided wildlife adventures in Tanzania, Botswana, Australia, Churchill Manitoba, Denali National Park, and Katmai National Park and this trip vaulted right up to the top two of all time. Being in the field with Miguel and Nico was like exploring with your best friends who happen to be experts about the area and its wildlife. From the moment of our first pick up, these gentlemen-and I do mean gentlemen, opening the vehicle doors for us-could not have been friendlier, more cordial, informative and accommodating to two people they had never met. Outlining the plans, offering refreshments, listening to what we were interested in, providing information about Torres Del Paine National Park and the surrounding area plus answering any questions we had about what we were seeing. Add in the fact they were able to spot and point out wildlife we never would have seen on our own and it all adds up to an adventure not soon to be forgotten.
Nico is just such a remarkable young man, with all his life experience around the world creating many great stories shared while we searched for the elusive Puma. We enjoyed his company and skills greatly. And Miguel, whom we had heard about prior to our arrival, has tracking and observation skills that led us to the opportunity to view seven different cats during our four trips into the field over two days. We would be conversing with Nico and he would interpret for Miguel (who is much more comfortable in Spanish but was never an issue) and when he answered and Nico told us of his reply, it was always either very informative or laugh out loud funny. He is also an excellent photographer which added to our experience as he provided us with some stunning shots of the cats. Nico was kind enough during our closest encounter with the Puma to take my SD card from my amateur camera and put it into his higher end camera to get photos and video during the same period. Thank you both so much!
If you have the itch to view Puma-cougar, mountain lion-in the wild, Patagonia and the national park are a fantastic choice. Add in all the stunning mountain and lake views, the hiking opportunities, plus the additional wildlife and birds you will see such as Guanaco, Fox, Armadillo, Condor, Rhea, etc. make this location hard to beat. And if you want to get the full experience, try and arrange some time being shown this part of the world by ISO100 and if you are very lucky, by Nico and Miguel. Ellos son los mejores!
翻译:我发现自己一直在寻找合适的、不落俗套的词语来描述我们在巴塔哥尼亚使用 ISO100 的经历。我们曾在坦桑尼亚、博茨瓦纳、澳大利亚、马尼托巴省丘吉尔、德纳里国家公园和卡特迈国家公园参加过有导游陪同的野生动物探险,而这次旅行一跃成为有史以来排名前两位的旅行。与 Miguel 和 Nico 一起在野外探险就像和你最好的朋友一起探险,他们恰好是该地区及其野生动物的专家。从我们第一次接我们那一刻起,这些绅士——我确实是说绅士,为我们打开车门——对他们两个从未见过的人来说,他们再友好、再热情、再有见识、再包容不过了。他们概述了计划,提供茶点,倾听我们感兴趣的内容,提供有关托雷斯德尔潘恩国家公园及其周边地区的信息,并回答我们对所见所闻的任何问题。再加上他们能够发现并指出我们自己永远看不到的野生动物,这一切都使这次冒险令人难忘。
Nico 就是这样一位了不起的年轻人,他在世界各地的生活经历创造了许多精彩的故事,而我们在寻找这只神出鬼没的美洲豹时,也分享了许多精彩的故事。我们非常喜欢他的陪伴和技能。我们在到达之前就听说过 Miguel,他拥有追踪和观察的技能,这让我们有机会在两天内四次前往野外时看到七种不同的猫科动物。我们会和 Nico 交谈,他会为 Miguel 翻译(虽然他更擅长说西班牙语,但从来都不是问题),当他回答并 Nico 告诉我们他的答复时,答案总是非常有启发性或令人捧腹大笑。他还是一位出色的摄影师,这为我们增添了体验,因为他为我们提供了一些令人惊叹的猫科动物照片。在我们与美洲豹最亲密接触时,Nico 非常好心地从我的业余相机中取出 SD 卡,并将其放入他的高端相机中,以便在同一时间拍摄照片和视频。非常感谢你们俩!
如果您想在野外观赏美洲狮、山狮,巴塔哥尼亚和国家公园是绝佳的选择。加上所有令人惊叹的山景和湖景、徒步旅行的机会,以及您将看到的更多野生动物和鸟类,如骆驼、狐狸、犰狳、秃鹫、美洲鸵等,让这个地方无与伦比。如果您想获得完整的体验,请尝试安排一些时间,让 ISO100 向您展示这个世界的一部分,如果您非常幸运,还可以让 Nico 和 Miguel 向您展示。我们是最好的!
