The incomparable Pantanal and its Hyacinth Macaw!
No other destination has so many easily seen birds as our Brazil tour visiting this vast wetland.
Combine this with the sublime Itatiaia National Park packed full of Atlantic Forest endemics (some on feeders outside the hotel restaurant) and this tour is a real winner.
That’s just one of our Brazil tours ………

Pictured right are, top to bottom, Hyacinth Macaw, Collared Puffbird, Frilled Coquette, Spangled Cotinga, Collared Crescentchest.

ATLANTIC FORESTS ENDEMIC TOUR
1 – 15 November 2008 with Colin Bushell

General information
Brazil is South America's giant, a dazzling land of pristine beaches, steamy jungles and manic metropolises. Music and dancing are as integral here as eating and sleeping, and you'll find as many regional styles as there are shades of people, from samba's sensual rhythms to Bahia's axé -charged beats.

While it may not be the Eden of popular imagination, Brazil is still a country of staggering beauty. There are stretches of unexplored rainforest, islands with divine tropical beaches, and endless rivers. Then there are the people themselves, who delight visitors with their energy and joy.
