How to Watch Wildlife Responsibly in Latin America
From Galápagos sea lions to Pantanal jaguars, a few simple rules keep encounters good for the animals too.

Keep your distance — in Galápagos the rule is two meters, and animals should always be able to move away freely. Never feed wildlife, and avoid operators that bait animals for photos.
Choose small groups and certified local guides: they know animal behavior, respect park rules and keep part of the tourism income in the community.
Finally, stay quiet and patient. The best sightings rarely come to those in a hurry.
