Freddies New World: The story of Freddie The Flycatcher
We are convinced of your qualities as a guide.
All in all we had an unforgettable experience. I hope to be able to get the atmosphere across even though my English isn't the best. Since our group was so small, just my sister and me together with Freddy and his family, it was like being with friends. Already during the eight hours of driving to the tombs, Nina Marca, we talked and talked as if we had known each other for ages and the time just flew away. My sister, an archaeologist, was astonished how much he knew about the history of the Inkas and Pre-Inkas.
On the way to the entrance of the Manu National Park he explained all the different areas and their inhabitants to us. We were taken aback to learn that there are still natives who never had any contact to the outside world. We dived into this amazing world of the cloud forest and there, around the next corner, was sitting the strangest bird I have ever seen, the cock of the rock.
By the way the only name I could memorize. Freddy asked too much of me, he knew not only the Spanish and English name of all the creatures and plants around us but also their Latin terms. The Matshiguenka village we visited the next day was another highlight of our trip. Freddy showed us that life in the jungle can be more fulfilled as we would have ever imagined. After a big breakfast with Freddy's parents we all went to his birthplace from where we took a boat to such a gorgeous place, that it is hardly possible to describe it with words.

Just a few huts in the middle of nowhere and us Nevertheless, our night was far from being quiet as all the tiny, little insects were making a tremendous noise. During the two days we spent in this paradise we saw a hole bunch of jungle animals and witnessed the most beautiful nature. Especially when Freddy took us on a raft over the lake within a biosphere reserve, we were thrilled to see so many colorful birds and the eyes of a caiman.
Yet this adventure was even topped when Freddy took us to a place at night where we literally "shook hands" with a group of different kind of monkeys. I will always remember these five days, not only because of the amazing nature and animals we witnessed but mainly because Freddy and his family turned it into such an unforgettable event. I wish them all the best for the future, Freddy's mum good luck with her new restaurant and him ongoing great success with his own company, which I hope will be prosperous yet at the same time remains as familiar as we experienced it.
Thanks a lot for a wonderful time!
Una experiencia maravillosa el estar en un lugar inhabitado. Eran tan curiosos y se paraban siempre en el medio de la luz de nuestras linternas, de tal forma que hasta logramos tomarles fotos. Esperamos que mucha gente de distintos lugares del mundo pueda conocer el mundo Fredy y que a pesar de todo esto se mantenga ese ambiente familiar que nosotros pudimos experimentar.
As a native of South Florida, making the transition to living temporarily and birding in Brazil was in some ways easier than say, moving here from the Midwest.
