You can step out on one of the little balconies and look through the telescope, right into a macaw nest. And what's really special about what we've done – which they are beginning to do in Peru with one institution (but certainly, in Bolivia, no one else is doing it), is we know how to draw the animals in. And I can guarantee – which is what we did with the National Geographic this year (we did it for the magazine and we did it for TV) – they were guaranteed that they could photograph, up close, macaws – while seeing a whole variety of birds, king vulture, harpy eagle (which are not that easy to see normally), tapir, wild boar.
And for them – and for me actually – it's the highlight too, because it's fun: the jaguar. So, if you can be patient – if you don't expect to see it today – you have a real good chance of seeing a jaguar, if you come and do some tourism with us. And I think that's what people are looking for – they are looking for that peace, that tranquility, that spiritual part – and they also want to see fauna.
