America Photo Tours

At the time of the photo trip, Cuba was in a very difficult economic situation caused by the island's severe energy shortage. Despite these adverse circumstances, Amazing Views once again managed to deliver an exciting trip without any changes to the itinerary and always in complete safety. If you like street photography and travel photography, this is the place for you. The insight into the culture and, to a lesser extent, the nature of the country left nothing to be desired. The personal contacts our tour guide Peter Fischer has built up over more than 20 trips made this tour a unique experience. Pedro, who makes cigars in his small workshop behind his private room, is just one example. My expectations of the trip were fully met.

The expectations of travelling with Amazing Views are high and were fully met.
A fantastic trip with great participants and lots of fun times that we were able to spend together. The many bird and animal sightings in the best light will remain unforgettable. The highlights were the extraordinary number of jaguar sightings in Porto Jofre and the fantastic landscape at sunrise. The first night in Baiazinha, where we all shivered like castle dogs from the cold, was also unforgettable. Many thanks to Thomas, Marcos, the local guide, and the boat drivers who made it all possible.

Our expectations were more than exceeded. On our trip to the beautiful Pantanal to see the breathtaking jaguars, we were well looked after by photo guide Thomas. As less experienced photographers, we were able to benefit enormously. Thomas took the time to explain the correct camera settings to us. And then gave us lots of tips on how to get the most out of the pictures with the right photo editing. This, coupled with the best spots and ideal lighting conditions and a great group, rounded off the experience.

It could not have been better: Super group - incredible jaguar and other animal sightings, competent and cheerful tour guide. A trip that will remain unforgettable.

On the Pantanal trip in July 2023, the biodiversity impressed me the most. The jaguars were great, lying in wait for caimans along the rivers and swimming across the river in front of us. Beautiful animals! But also impressive were the giant otters, which even put a jaguar to flight. We also encountered a swimming tapir. The many bird species - kingfishers, herons, giant storks, hawks, cormorants, etc. - always offered great motifs. - offered great motifs again and again. We were competently accompanied by Thomas and Marcos, who shared a lot of his knowledge about the animals with us. Everything was well organised. A rewarding trip!

We had to wait a long time before we could finally travel to Patagonia. But it was worth it in every respect. What an incredible 10 days we experienced in this unique landscape! Perfectly guided by Thomas Brühlmann, Cristina Harboe and the other local guides, we were able to let off steam photographically. But the highlight was definitely the 3 days of puma tracking. Here we were able to benefit from Rodrigo Moraga's many years of knowledge and photograph the animals at almost arm's length. I would love to go there again right away!
