Naun was our tour guide through the Pantanal, setting off from Cuiaba, Brazil, for 5d/4n. He is simply one of the best. His enthusiasm for what he does, and he genuine love of wildlife is clear to see, and is contagious. He turned us all into avid bird-watcher 'wannabees' for the time we were there. He was friendly and professional, and we couldn't have asked for more. And how does he spot those birds and monkeys from so far away!? I don't think we would have seen anything if we had not been with Naun.
Our Fall 2013 trip to Peru was an exciting and very memorable adventure. Our first 4 days were spent in the Amazon jungle at the Refugio Amazonas lodge. Here we were greeted by our friendly and most knowledgeable guide, Naun. He looked after us well! From our night walks in the jungle where Naun pointed out the frogs and night creatures, to our daytime trips seeking out Amazonian critters.....he delivered and didn't disappoint. Not only was Naun in 'the know' about the history of the areas, he also was very knowledgeable about the plants and flora. We really believe we lucked out with having Naun as our guide for 4 days. We would seek him out again.
Naun was our tour guide while we were in the Amazon-- a couple hours out from Puerto Maldonado, Peru. The experience we had at Refugio Amazonas with Naun as our leader/tour guide was indescribable. Even though we had early mornings, Naun always greeted us at breakfast with a smile on his face-- the daily tours were great! He went through great lengths to make sure we had the best experience and had the opportunity to see absolutely everything we could. His knowledge of wildlife (especially birds!) is amazing-- I have never met someone so passionate about what they do. If he was unable to answer a question or unsure, he always came back to us after some research with an answer. As we were 4, late 20s females from the US (and the other half of the group were 50+ British couples), Naun was very accommodating and patient with our group-- what more can one ask for. If I ever revisit or end up traveling to a place where Naun is able to be our tour guide-- I would definitely jump on the opportunity and recommend his tours to anyone!
