It’s been quiet here on the blog over the past few weeks – not because nothing was happening, but quite the opposite: so much has been going on that I simply didn’t get around to writing.

I spent some time in Germany and other parts of Europe, visiting family, catching my breath, and also diving deep into new ideas for Pantanal Spirit Tours.
In addition, I attended several travel fairs – a chance to reconnect with partners, spark new collaborations, and share my passion project with a wider audience. It was an intense time – but also an incredibly inspiring one.

Back on the Rio Paraguai, things picked up right away with the first big tour of the season. Together with Sandra and Torsten, I had an awesome time – with meaningful conversations, lots of laughter, and no less than four jaguar sightings! These two were fantastic guests – and above all, wonderfully humorous travel companions. I’m pretty sure they enjoyed the trip just as much as I did. It was a beautiful start to the season, and their enthusiasm reminded me once again why I do what I do.

So now it’s time to get the blog going again. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more insights into my work here in the western Pantanal – with fresh ideas, unforgettable encounters, and real stories from the heart of Brazil.

Thanks for sticking around – and as always, if you have questions or are curious about traveling to the Pantanal, feel free to reach out!

Sunny greetings from the Rio Paraguai,
Sandro
